&gt; Supercomposite’s original description of her as a “devastated-looking older woman” betray a faint penumbra of the unquestionable ageism, sexism, and repro-normativity rooted in a culture that has basically always discriminated against women, and is most recently attempting to return uterus-bearing members of society to a forced-birth state.<p>Is this really an article about AI art?

What&#x27;s starting to be creepy is how easily people are ascribing meaning to statistical models. Loab is essentially a single image that resulted from statistical noise and her creator iterated on. It reminds me of the researcher from Google who thought their models were sentient

Sooner or later, probably sooner, someone is going to type in &quot;Muhammad&quot;, get a good picture out, and the Islamic world will freak out.

I&#x27;d be grateful if someone could explain why this has been flagged so I can avoid it in future. Thank you.
