Basically, yes. I train models as a hobby and this is true since it depends on what it's trained on.

Let's say I train a model purely on Caucasian women, it'll be hard to get an Asian male out of the model since it's not trained on it.

Same goes for other features like hair color, eyes, nose, etc.

Yeah, makes sense, the people I saw online with “successful” results were primarily white men, which I would imagine would pop up pretty frequently in a training set. The bias also feeds into the echo chamber of AI hype too in my opinion

Yea, but that applies to everything kinda.
