AI draws what Europeans think Americans look like state by state.

Wisconsin hits it pretty well.

When I saw Utah, I thought of this movie:

CT's pic hits painfully close to the truth.

OTOH if these pics are accurate I'm moving to Hawaii.

looks like Michigan and Ohio were accurate.

LOL

On one hand most Europeans probably couldn't place more than a handful of states, let alone tell you something unique about the states. On the other hand the AI is trained on real data

What is in the bowl in the New Hampshire image? Was trying to figure it out. I thought it was cut up bananas but I'm pretty sure bananas don't grow in NH lol

I thought it was corn pops.

Reminded me of freshly-harvested Cocao.

Depends how far the 'prompts' were custom chosen for each picture/state. That could have determined the resultant image just as much as whatever implicit "stereotypes" are out there in the "training data".

It's interesting that the style of the images often seems to fit the chosen state (e.g. California - I'm sure that visual style reminds me of some California-related art, or Virginia that looks like an 18th century painting).

But it's odd and unfortunate that everyone in them is white (though that Hawaiian woman might be mixed?)
