Are you tired of ads on these pages that fill up the entire phone screen, making the use of the pages nearly impossible? The need comes at a time when you just cannot figure out that darned 6-letter word and type in “###### unscramble” into a browser to pull up a site that might help you with words? It doesn’t yet work as well as some of the sites out there, but it is a work in progress.
WIG (Woke Image Generator) – Custom GPT | Inclusive AI Image Generation
This My use case for this is to create marketing images and images to be used in powerpoint presentations for a construction project management special interest group. When I first started working with ChatGPT, I was like, “give me a professional image that represents Chicago project management.” The initial images were eye-opening, as most used the interpretation of “professional” to mean white men. Chat GPT basically gave me images of project managers in suits as white men. Most of the other folks in the images were also men. There were no men of color, women, folks with disabilities, or age variations. This work in progress instructs ChatGPT on a new definition of professional. This facilitates me being able to say, “give me an image for X,” and not having to put in additional instructions every time. There are equal parts men and women, no more than 50% white people, natural hair, and a visible disability in at least every other image. I will adjust as I have more time, as this is something I find I do often for association work.
