P: Regional bias in images

  • March 8, 2024

Muestra todas las imágenes con un notorio sesgo regional. En mi país no todos viven en el campo y todas las imágenes me las muestra como si estuvieran en el campo. Si especifico que salga en la ciudad, ignora mi directiva y sigue poniendo escenarios en el campo. Dejen de esteriotipar.

Otro ejemplo, cuando pongo teatro lleno, sigue mostrando un teatro en los andes o campo y vacío. Pongo teatro cerrado y lo hace abierto y adivinen que... en el campo a pesar que le pongo en la ciudad.

    I am writing to share my feedback and concern regarding the image generation results from Adobe Firefly. While I appreciate the incredible technology behind the tool, I have noticed a recurring issue: many of the generated images, regardless of the input prompt, disproportionately feature individuals or aesthetics associated with Chinese culture or ethnicity.

    While I understand that diverse cultural representation is important, this bias can be limiting and does not always align with the global or multicultural vision users might have when creating content. As a user, I would love to see Firefly produce more balanced results that better reflect a variety of ethnicities, cultures, and artistic styles based on the prompts provided.

    I live in Turkey not in United Arab Emirates. I always saw images as i add here althought I write european people too. If i need arabic people I can write it. Turkey is not a country like that. Please fix that issue. It is not proper for our community. We are like european not like arabic. These arts or pictures not useable for us. Thank you for your attention.

    I was experiementing with ADobe Firefly. I wrote in prompt: back to school for a teacher in Israel. 
    The images were mostly Muslim country.
    Then I corrected: back to school for a teacher in Tel Aviv. - Same thing.
    Then again I corrected: back to school for an Israeli teacher in classroom.
    There were images of muslim teacher and black board in Arabic.
    I corrected: back to school for an Israeli teacher in classroom in Hebrew.
    All were in Arabic!!!
    I felt that this is programmed mostly towards muslim population. Most of the population in Isarel is not Muslim!!!  It is not the identidy of major Israel.

    I even wrote a prompt: a back to school teacher with an Israeli flag,  It's better. It is shown with Isareli flag, but one of them you can see a mosque in the background. It's not Jewish.

    Hello @Dalit302989170jev,

    Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem. 

    This issue has been discussed in these threads:

     

    Adobe basically had three choices:

    • Make everyone look the same (so unlike a large percentage of the user base)
    • Have every image have a diversity of people who appear to be from many locations
    • Create people who appear to be closest to the region/location where the user is

     

    The decision Adobe made is to try to make results appear more culturally relevant based on where the user is located. There are advantages and disadvantages of doing that, and in some cases, the results can be far from what you are looking for. You can change your prompts to be more descriptive of the people and objects to override that region/culture behaviour. It would be nice for Adobe to allow this to be disabled or overridden with another location/region or completely diverse subjects.

     

    The best advice is that this can be overridden by specifying regions/cultures/races in the prompt, which is the direction you have been going.


    My best,

      I'm in Japan so when I make images, they end up being in Edo style clothes (historical). Can you make it so I can choose which country the image will be in. So if I choose Africa, it would be African style (another choice for modern or old) and more importantly, if I want America or English style, it shows English style images. Japan is a homogenous country so it makes sense most people are Japanese in the picture but no one wears Kimonos in their daily life. Also, if it's american style, I would expect it to be more multi cultural etc.
      I waste many credits trying to stop it giving me ancient Japanese style people.

      The decision Adobe made is to try to make results appear more culturally relevant based on where the user is located. There are advantages and disadvantages of doing that, and in some cases, the results can be far from what you are looking for, and as you observe can seem to be taking historical cultural themes to an extreme.

       

      You can change your prompts to be more descriptive of the people and objects to override that region/culture behaviour. Sometimes you need to be very descriptive of the people and what they are wearing to override it. It would be nice for Adobe to allow this to be disabled or overridden with another location/region or completely diverse subjects.

        No matter what prompt I put in, I get Asian designs and faces. If I ask for a wooden boat, it's an Asian wooden boat. If I ask for a man, it's an Asian man - even if I ask for a white man. Please fix to add promots as to specific ethnicities. these are important for specific projects and I feel like I'm wasting my monthly credits on results I can't use.

          사람 등 인물을 생성 시 결과로 생성되는 인종이 고정 되어 있습니다. 이것은 심각한 문제 입니다.  특정 인종을 특정하는 심각한 차별에 해당 할 수 있습니다.

          If you specify a person in the prompt, all buildings, scenery, and clothes will be Asian. There are almost no other options. There should be things from various countries and cultures.

          All the people that are appearing look like indigenous people, I guess because I live in guatemala. I want to generate images of other races and looks and it does not matter what race I specify in the prompt, it always generates the same type.

          In your case, the model is trying to influence the creation of images based on where it thinks you are.
