After Nine blamed an ‘automation’ error in Photoshop for producing an edited image of Georgie Purcell, I set out to find out what the software would do to other politicians.

@pixxelkick Thank you! This article clearly is written completely biased. Photohops AI generator tries to interpret the whole picture to expand the cropped image. So in case of the original Georgie Purcell photo, the AI sees “woman, tank top, naked shoulders and arms, water in the background”, so of course it tries to generate clothing it thinks fitting to wear at seaside or a beach.
I just tried the same with a male model in tank top on a beach and it did not magically put him in a suit, it generated swim wear.
If I use a picture on Georgie Purcell in more formal clothing, it generates more formal cloting.

But, to be fair, this quote from the article:
is indeed true. In general pictures of women tend to generate more “sexy” output than pictures of men.
And, of course, NINE clearly edited the image badly and could have chosen another generated output with no effort at all.
