Generative AI's Stereotypical Depictions of Queer People

Generative AI tools like OpenAI Sora depict LGBTQ individuals using stereotypical attributes, such as purple hair, nose rings for lesbians, and fashionable attire for gay men. These tools often oversimplify queer identities and perpetuate biased representations, further exacerbating existing stereotypes. The data used to train these AI algorithms, sourced from the web, reinforces cultural assumptions and may lack diverse and inclusive perspectives, resulting in homogenized depictions of queer individuals with limited racial and gender diversity.
