Racial bias propagating, click-baity article.

Did anyone bother to fact check this? I ran her exact photo and prompt through Playground AI and it pumped out a bad photo of an Indian woman. Are we supposed to play the raical bias card against Indian women now?

This entire article can be summarized as "Playground AI isn't very good, but that's boring news so let's dress it up as something else"
