But that depends on context. If I would ask "please make picture of Nigerian nurse" then the probability should be overwhelmingly black. If I ask for "picture of Finnish nurse" then it should be almost always a white person.
That probably can be done and may work well already, not sure.
But the harder problem is that since I'm from a country where at least 99% of nurses are white people, then for me it's really natural to expect a picture of a nurse to be a white person by default.
But for a person that's from China, a picture of a nurse is probably expected to be of a chinese person!
But if course the model has no idea who I am.
So, yeah, this seems like a pretty intractable problem to just DWIM. Then again, the whole AI thingie was an intractable problem three years ago, so...

I guess if Google provided the model with the same information if uses to target ads then this would be pretty much achievable.
However, I am not sure I'd like such personalised model. We have enough bubbles already and they don't do much good. From this perspective LLMs are refreshing by treating everyone the same as of now.
