    But I don’t think the software can differentiate between the ideas of defined and undefined characters. It’s all just association between words and aesthetics, right? It can’t know that “Homer Simpson” is a more specific subject than “construction worker” because there’s no actual conceptualization happening about what these words mean.

    I can’t imagine a way to make the tweak you’re asking for that isn’t just a database of every word or phrase that refers to a specific known individual that the users’ prompts get checked against and I can’t imagine that’d be worth the time it’d take to create.

      If they’re inserting random race words in, presumably there’s some kind of preprocessing of the prompt going on. That preprocessor is what would need to know if the character is specific enough to not apply the race words.

        Yeah but replace("guy", "ethnically ambiguous guy") is different than does this sentence reference any possible specific character

          I don’t think it’s literally a search and replace but a part of the prompt that is hidden from the user and inserted either before or after the user’s prompt. Something like [all humans, unless stated otherwise, should be ethnically ambiguous]. Then when generating it’s got confused and taken it as he should be named ethnically ambiguous.

            It’s not hidden from the user. You can see the prompt used to generate the image, to the right of the image.

        Gee, I wonder if there’s any way to use GPT-4 to detect whether a prompt includes reference to any specific characters. 🤔

      ChatGPT was just able to parse a list of fictional characters out of concepts, nouns, and historical figures.

      It wasn’t perfect, but if it can take the prompt and check if any mention of a fictional or even defined historical character is in there it could be made to not apply additional tags to the prompt.

        Let’s say hypothetically I had given you that question and that instruction on how to format your response. You would presumably have arrived at the same answer the AI did.

        What steps would you have taken to arrive at that being your response?
