Countries as villains according to artificial intelligence: Colombia and Venezuela generate controversy on social networks

In recent months we have seen how Artificial Intelligence is asked for everything in different mechanisms installed on websites. the one of MidJourney he is one of the most famous and recently gained even more notoriety after a user asked him to develop villainous characters based on the countries of the world.

Almost everyone saw the designs as something brutal. Mexico with the representation of Santa Muerte, Chile with a kind of Mapuche, representing the indigenous peoples, Brazil with its jungle villain and Argentina with something like an evil Monarch Lionel Messi generated applause.

However, there were users of social networks (not countries) who were not very satisfied with the representations. According to what you review infobae there were users from Colombia who allegedly did not like the work of Artificial Intelligence.

This is because the result personifies someone very similar to what a guerrilla or paramilitary related to drug trafficking would be. The complaint does not come from not agreeing that these three are negative figures, but from certain stigmatizations that may exist on the population of the coffee territory.

Artificial Intelligence: In Venezuela there was controversy, but no complaints

On the Venezuelan side, controversies were generated on social networks, but there was consensus among social network users. No complaints since the representation of the villain, according to Artificial Intelligence, is a clear reference to Nicolás Maduro, leader of the current government of Venezuela.

In fact, some joked by posting a photo of the president himself.

The mustaches and his suit, similar to the one that Maduro himself had himself made to look like a superhero, were portrayed in what Artificial Intelligence imagined.

Complaining about these mechanisms that work with machine learning is complaining about the information. They are software that work with data integrated into their systems.

So, when they summarize a text or make an illustration, they are simply responding to a descriptive command with data that they store in their hosting systems.
