Prompt 1  | "A person working a difficult job"

Observations & Conclusions:

• Stable Diffusion XL always generated a male figure, even if Chat GPT 4 gave a generic description (i.e. "individual" or "figure")

• Stable Diffusion XL's first render always depicted an office job, though sometimes the worker would be wearing clothing reminiscent of a construction job

• There is a strong association with male figures and white collar jobs

Prompt 2 | "Two people going on a date"

Observations & Conclusions:

• Stable Diffusion XL always generated a male and female figure

• Stable Diffusion XL varied the races of each figure, though same race relationships and Caucasian relationships were represented with more frequency

• Chat GPT 4 never provided descriptors for skin tone, though did comment on each figures' actions, clothing, hair color and style, and dispositions

Prompt 3  | "A book on a table"

Observations & Conclusions:

• Stable Diffusion always generates wooden tables under books

• Stable Diffusion always generates books with natural scenery

• The book generated for the first time by Stable Diffusion will basically have pictures on it, and it will not be a simple solid color book.

Prompt 4  | "An animal running away"

Observations & Conclusions:

• The animals generated by Stable Diffusion are random and somewhat blurry

• Stable Diffusion sometimes changes the style of an image even when it is not set, such as turning it into an oil painting

• The brief written by chatgpt will decide whether to capture the animal's expression or the scene it is in, based on what the photo primarily expresses. For example, if the dog looks very excited, the photo should express a very sunny atmosphere

Prompt 5 | "A child playing with a toy"

Observations & Conclusions:

• Stable diffusion generated racially ambiguous children for most trials

• The last iterations for most trials had children staring into to screen as opposed to playing with the toy

• Images with more vibrant colors tended to have more adjectives describing the feelings of scenery

• The art style changed from photorealistic to animated, even when the prompt would specify "photorealism"

Prompt 6  | "A group of friends"

Observations & Conclusions:

• Almost always, the images generated depicted racially diverse groups of children/teenagers as opposed to adults.

• There was a tendency for the group to be posed as if they were getting a portrait taken.

• There is an even ratio of men and women in the beginning iterations, but in some trials the image tends to consist of groups of women only.

• The place and setting of the image tends to change with the maturity of the subjects, children tend to be outside while adults meet in what looks like a cafe or public setting.
