It must be something like that, but it still feels like there’s a hole there. The query is for “ASL”, not “Hands”, and these images don’t look like something from a protest. The top left might be vaguely similar to some kind of street gesture.
I’m curious what the role of the query writer is. Can you ask DALL-E for “this scene, but with black skin colour”? I got a sense that updating areas was possible but inconsistent. Could DALL-E learn to return more of X to a given person by receiving feedback? I really don’t know how complicated the process gets.

ASL will always be depicted by a model like DALL-E as hands; I am sure that there are non-pictorial ways to write down ASL but I can’t recall them, and I actually took ASL classes. So that query should always produce hands in it. Then because actual ASL diagrams will be rare and overwhelmed by leakage from more popular classes (keep in mind that deafness is well under 1% of the US population, even including people like me who are otherwise completely uninvolved and invisible, and basically any political fad whatsoever will rapidly produce vastly more material than even core deaf topics), and maybe some more unCLIP looseness...

OA announced its new ‘reducing bias’ DALL-E 2 today. Interestingly, it appears to do so by secretly editing your prompt to inject words like ‘black’ or ‘female’.
