“AI” models are suffused with US values and, occasionally, those are quite shocking to us non-Americans

An Icelandic police force used a generated image to promote a public notice

People were absolutely horrified

Why?

Because the cop in the image had a gun, in a holster, AROUND CHILDREN 😱

The uniform was also not accurate for an Icelandic cop but what people found obscene was the idea that anybody would carry a gun around children, even holstered

@baldur it is so fucking refreshing to hear that attitude toward guns rather than pushing for "more cops in schools"

@TeflonTrout @baldur As a USian, that was my EXACT first thought when reading this, an uncontrolled wave of "holy shit, it must be so nice to have that be the cultural norm". It almost brought tears to my eyes. 😳 (And was shortly followed by sorrow at the cultural pollution.)
