To finalise my research, I conducted a short interview with a person to get another perspective on the topic.
The interviewee, after telling me that she is familiar with images generated by artificial intelligence, said that it is mainly those involving nature or landscapes that are very realistic and that she is therefore often unable to distinguish them.
As a designer she has mixed feelings because on the one hand, she thinks AI is a very useful tool that can speed up the work; on the other hand she thinks it is ethically wrong for designers and artists in general.
When I showed her the images I generated using AI, she said that she thought it was normal to get these results because they are based on statistics. At the same time she also acknowledged that they were very stereotypical images.
In conclusion, she stated that she is not sure whether the images generated by artificial intelligence reproduce stereotypes because they are based on statistics and information that people give. However, she then reflected on the fact that society is biased and therefore these images are nothing but a consequence of society itself.
