3:11 am
but 1st, how to apps like lens i work with. linda users can create their own magic avatar by uploading 10 to 20 se to the f like mechanical j here. the more diverse the more interesting the results. once your thoughts are on the app server and a, our software analyzes them. text them with keywords and generates new images in different categories, like stylish, sy, fi or enemy. this takes about 20 minutes to do that. lens draws information from an open source dataset named lion fife. b. that database is put together by scraping and analyzing pictures from the internet. lion 5 b is basically creating a huge library of images of all kinds, but putting labels on them. for example, man woman, caucasian on latina. and that's why the problems start is lenses, sexist? there seems to be a huge gap and what kind of images lindsa generates for men and women men often get flattering portraits of themselves as astronauts. all super heroes,
