Justin R. Lester celebrates AI-generated action figure images flooding social media, arguing they give AI systems more examples of Black and Brown faces and bodies. He hopes this means future AI will better represent Black people's hair, bodies, and facial features instead of defaulting to white features.

You guys seen all the action figure pictures. I know you've seen mine. I know you've seen your friends. You've seen it everywhere. On LinkedIn, on Instagram, on Facebook and TikTok. And I had someone ask me, say something powerful, LinkedIn. They said, of course, this is ChatGPT's way of getting everybody to give us their data. And then I got excited because I said, you know what? The issue to me is that there haven't been enough black faces, haven't been enough black bodies, haven't been enough things. Actually get people to have the right data available of black people, of brown people, of minorities on these sites, Right? And so actually, instead of looking at it negatively, which is, oh, my God, they got data, I look at it positively, oh, my God, they got data. Hopefully now they know how to kink our hair. They know what our hips, our legs, our bodies, our faces, our noses, our teeth, our eyes. The uniqueness of blackness is. So thank you all for creating these pictures. Thank you all for allowing these companies to know exactly what we look like. So now, the next time somebody says they want to build something black or brown, they know how to build it. All right? If you want more information on AI, you want to get amazing things to do for you and your AI companies and all the work that you're building like, and subscribe for more. I'm that tech pastor. If you didn't hear from that tech pastor, it ain't real. Giving you the business for your business. Peace.
