Someone I trust tried to post this lovely vintage pinup photo to an appropriate subreddit yesterday:

The photo was removed by the moderators with the message “Please do not post AI generated images”:

Reddit AI detection tool error message rejecting black pinup photo

In fact it is from this 1966 issue of Cloud 9 magazine.

Given that we already know that AI tools are rife with algorithmic bias and that (for example) deep fake detection tools tend to fail when darker skin tones are involved, I think we can fairly guess that the AI image detector software in use on Reddit balked here because it was trained to look for “normal” (algorithmically average beige) women, and these gorgeous dark brown skin tones didn’t fall within the trained parameters.
