How Does AI "See" Us?

A fascinating study that analyzed over 1,200 images from four global AI models.

Ever wondered how AI sees different generations? Using generative models like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, YandexART, and ERNIE-ViLG, we explored how four generations – Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z – are visually depicted across identity, work, and relationships.

Some results were surprising: while Boomers were often shown as introspective, Gen Z stole the spotlight with vibrant, tech-savvy portrayals. Yet, across all age groups, beer was a surprising common factor – proving that some things truly do bridge the generational gap.

Check out the full study for a closer look at how AI's cultural lenses shape its view of us through the ages. It’s a fun and fascinating snapshot of how models reflect and sometimes reinforce stereotypes.
