It means she now looks closer to what the "average" professional photo looks like.

@Wolven

@freemo @meredithw @Wolven and when HR asks for resumes of qualified professional applicants you think the same thing won’t happen? At best, you’ll get people whose resumes superficially look just like those of current employees, most likely it will reject every non-Anglo-Saxon name.

@theothersimo

Huh? What do you mean by "same thing might happen"... how would HR turn a persons picture into a new picture? I think your talking about racial discrimination, sure, and there is plenty of that, but how is that the same as what the AI did?

@meredithw @Wolven

@freemo @meredithw @Wolven doing with resumes what this AI did with pictures. Do I really need to explain it to you?

@theothersimo

We both seem to agree on the racism element, so no need to be rude.

But yes, I dont really follow, explaining would be appreciated. But you dont have to, lets keep it civil thanks.

@meredithw @Wolven

@freemo @meredithw @Wolven either you can see why systems that score [stereotypically white things] as objectively more professional than [stereotypically Asian things] will make discrimination worse, or you don’t. I don’t think anything I can say will help you understand.

@theothersimo

Actually, what you just said now explained it, thank you... Again could have done without the disgraceful attitude, but thanks anyway, I understand what you meant now.
