    I get that it’s stupid and there isn’t much more to say.

    But why is diversity always black people? It’s not Italians or Swedes which would make way more sense, or even Indians or Chinese.

      Probably due to training data. If you do a google image search for diversity it will show black people.

      OP probably assumes it’s impossible that a black person might have been born in Scotland in 1820 despite the Atlantic slave trade being in full swing for centuries by that point making this entirely feasible.

        In 1778, Court of Session judges ruled that slavery was incompatible with Scots Law. This ruling meant Knight could not be made to carry out tasks for Wedderburn or be taken back to Jamaica against his will.

        Awesome. Knight is a hero.

        OP would have to be pretty stupid if that’s the case.

        It looks like they made their account just to post this. They made an account just to tell others they’re a moron.

        Damn

          The frustration that we feel over bigotry can be expressed in so many ways. We don’t need to rely on ableist slurs. Alternative phrases are more descriptive, and more accurate; unintelligence is not the prevailing problem with right wing extremists, for instance, nor is it the cause of their actions. Ignorance, prejudice, and disregard for the rights of others are.
          Conflating harmful actions with lack of intelligence does everyone a disservice. To suggest that “stupidity” that is what makes people act badly undermines any real accountability. The causes of problematic behavior rarely have anything to do with mental acuity, and we can’t properly address harmful behavior while being so reductive about its causes. Carelessness, bias, hatred, greed, closed-mindedness, indifference – these are the traits that lead to oppression. Our intelligence is not the issue so much as our sense of compassion and justice.

      The fact that 200 years ago, Scotland had about 2 million inhabitants, all of whom were virtually exclusively ethnic scots. Up until about 40 years ago there weren’t even keeping track of that, with over 99% being ethnic scots at the start of the census in the 80s. (Source: Wikipedia)

      Now this ai is obviously fabricating bullshit because it was trained to be diverse and inclusive.

          There was some African dude who the king enjoyed so now it makes sense to depict your typical Scottish man in 1820s as black lol

        Yes. There clearly were no black people in Scotland near the time of the US civil war.

        You’re pissy because “scottish” doesn’t mean white people to everyone.

          Dude im just looking at demographics… am not even Scottish. Doesn’t change the fact that what this ai does is blatantly made up and could be considered falsifying history.

            An AI said there might be black people in Scotland. PROTECT THE HISTORY!

              Why would you want to have inclusive history at the cost of accuracy? That’s literally blind adherence to ideology. You know, the thing religious zealots or nationalists are doing.

              The point of history is that we can learn from it, and for that it must be kept as accurate as possible.

              Accepting this in the grand scope of things somewhat irrelevant inaccuracy, just because you want the past to be wholesome and coherent with current beliefs, just opens the door to more critical areas of history being changed to fit the narrative.

              Just look at the American republicans, who are in the process of banning slavery and black oppression as a topic kids are taught about.

    It’s funny because their makeup, hairdressing, and style is largely incompatible with the beauty technologies and standards of the day.

    I tried to ask Gemini the same thing and it told me it was incapable of generating images at all… If I’m not missing anything that means OP just faked this to make the most tired and idiotic statement of every internet moron ever
