Bing's AI image creator (powered by DALL-E)

I love how sometimes weird things happen in Bing. I mostly use copilot for image creation because you can use natural language to describe what you want but in this it went sideways.
I was using @bigboaster singing sailor prompt to create some images in the same thread as I had used to create the kissing cowboys.
I then thought I'd try a prompt from the 'fantastic beast AI" thread to see if I could create an elf and ended up with this :joy::_806416b7-60d9-45dd-9355-971e0b388d4e.jpg

Of course none of the white men find issue with it. Mandingo captives and all.
What is the issue exactly? You are the one that needs to prove how/why that is actually offensive. Clearly some disagree with you. So make your case bro. :joy:
 
Not white..nice try though.
Sympathizer all the same

You have colonial white men in garb similar to what would’ve been used in the time of cattle slavery, in repose with oversized African men. The hypersexualization of black men captured in the Mandingo trope with their captors

Isn't art about interpretation though? I interpret it more like pirates meeting with local black natives in a fantastical homo-erotic setting. I didn't get a slave vibe here. I wasn't even taking reality into account. These images don't exactly feel historical. Hahaha.

The captor-captive angle is just where your mind went. But that doesn't make it offensive by definition.

Also... Oversized? What?
At best maybe 1 or 2 images have the black guy being bigger. The rest are all same size as the white men. You're reaching a bit

Those who don’t want to see it will not see how their fetishizations are founded in white supremacy, but I understand what you’re saying bro

Are you a white man? I can see how you’d think of it as reaching when you don’t have to consider what this would feel like. It’s a romanticized viewing of what is an atrocious history. Men who looked like the white ones in these renderings, did heinous things to those who look like the African ones depicted therein. African men were sodomized, assaulted, and worse! So, given the attractions some of the colonialist enslavers had for their captives, this is particularly disgusting representation. For white men it’s easy to look upon those times as a bygone era and lean into the romanticism evoked. Yet the history isn’t romantic. Whether it’s AI generated or not, it’s insensitive. I’m sure some parameters were provided to generate it.
