Yak Geisha

Oh look, it's a shaggy cow in a kimono so it must be a yak geisha!

Wait, it's a highland cow that happens to be wearing something resembling kimono?

Right.

I'm glad we've cleared that up.

Literally for the love of all things Dall-E, please could you all stop making endless "geisha", esp ones with garments falling off, bindi on their foreheads, "kimono" with fold overs at back, etc etc and think it's not even slightly problematic to misrepresent someone else's cultural heritage?

Most of the images that even at least look less strange and feature long flowing elaborate kimono and an abundance of hair decorations are actually based on maiko, young trainees who are, by default, historically almost always under 18 too. Just for reference.

AI is based on often biased "western" stereotypes.

To not recognise that some of them are based on poorly labelled image and overt sexualisation of teenage girls is problematic in the extreme.

Please do better.
