Why is bias a problem?
When you prompt "business man" and it outputs a white man, this is quite probably reflective of representation in reality.
Whether this overrepresentation is even a problem at all is debatable as the idea that every job, role or subgroup of people is perfectly diverse or that this even should be the goal isn't just ridiculous, it's demographically impossible.
If you do have a problem with a specific representation in actual reality, reality itself should change. Which it does, it just takes time.
In the meanwhile, just prompt "black business man" if that's what you were after.
Which reality? For sure "business man" being 100% white is not a reality for some people in Africa and Asia, don't you think?
Google barely makes any money from Africa (relatively speaking). They are a non-factor from a shareholder standpoint. From a shareholder standpoint, the North American, European, Australian, and Japanese markets are top of mind.
Japanese, which is in... asia.
