If you ask an AI image generator to give you a picture of something, the results can range from appropriate to clueless to downright offensive. It’s particularly bad for cultures that aren’t well represented in the Internet’s data.If you ask an AI image generator to give you a picture of something, the results can range from appropriate to clueless to downright offensive.

When robots come across unfamiliar objects, they struggle to account for a simple truth: Appearances aren’t everything. They may attempt to grasp a block, only to find out it’s a literal piece of cake. The misleading appearance of that object could lead the robot to miscalculate physical properties like the object’s weight and center of mass, using the wrong grasp and applying more force than needed.When robots come across unfamiliar objects, they struggle to account for a simple truth: Appearances aren’t everything.
