AI thinks I’m Asian

I went to clean up an old picture , using AI, I started with this image.



This is what AI came up with.



This could explain a few things.

I’m wondering how you get your head in that little helmet in the last picture.

At least it pretty much looks like you have 5 fingers on your hands. That original photo is not much to work with.

For a while my Roku thought I was in Mexico. Watching everything in Spanish got pretty annoying.

I tried it in Gemini AI. I found that to be the best for restoring family pics. I also rarely do a second prompt on the results, it seems to change people. I go back and change the original prompt.

With your first pic, and this prompt "tight verticle crop for a magazine cover. Shift subject right with clean open sky and left side space for masthead and headlines"

Gemini returned this:

Intense back pain this winter. I couldn't stand or crawl. It took all I had one night to go 10' from the couch to the bathroom.

I uploaded the test results to AI before my doc appointment, and asked what treatments the doctor might prescribe. It returned a summary of my results that a non-doctor (I) could understand, listed treatment options, and recommended stretches and exercise options.

I understand it's not much more than a glorified, verbose web search. It didn't replace my doc, nor did I blindly accept a recovery path. However, it was helpful to understand my options prior to the doctor appointment.

Ive been using AI for image manipulation & photo restoration(I can finally remove my ex-sister from our wedding photos) and for programming microcontrollers like an esp32.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Another friend thought this would be funny.

Bruce’s mother belonged to an ethnically diverse (and highly influential) Hong Kong family. It has long been believed that Bruce’s ancestry was a quarter German, yet during exit interviews with immigration officials in SF, his mother stated that she was English on her maternal side.
