Why Doesn't AI Want to Show Me Jesus Washing the Feet of His Disciples?

May 01, 2024 - freddiedeboer.substack.com
The author discusses their attempts to generate an image of Jesus washing someone's feet using various AI image generators, including Bing's Dall-E 3, Imagine.ART, Stable Diffusion 2.1, Craiyon's generator, and Dall-E mini. Despite the historical artistic corpus providing ample training data, the author finds that the AI consistently produces images where Jesus is having his feet washed, rather than him washing the feet of others.

The author speculates that this could be due to the AI's understanding of Jesus as a leader, thus placing him in a position of being served, or possibly due to guardrails put in place to prevent offensive content. The author also suggests that the AI's inability to accurately generate the requested image could simply be due to the complexity of the task, as evidenced by Google Gemini's struggle to generate a simple image of a triangle.

Key takeaways:

  • The author is intrigued by the story of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples, including Judas, as depicted in the Gospel of John.
  • Despite the abundance of historical artistic representations of this scene, the author struggled to generate a similar image using various AI image generators.
  • Many of the generated images incorrectly depicted Jesus having his feet washed, rather than him washing the feet of others.
  • The author speculates that this could be due to the AI's understanding of Jesus as a leader, or possibly due to guardrails put in place to prevent offensive content.
