PROTECT AND SERVE

I LOVE AMERICA

UNMASKING BIAS IN AI

Title: Protect and Serve

Nuclear Samurai: What are some factors that reflect the current state of law enforcement in America?

ChatGPT: Law enforcement in America faces growing scrutiny for its practices. On one hand, there is a commitment to maintaining public safety, but there’s also a troubling history of overpolicing certain demographics, particularly communities of color. This has led to widespread concerns about racial profiling, excessive force, and the militarization of police forces. The presence of heavily armed officers, aggressive policing tactics, and increased surveillance further complicates the relationship between law enforcement and marginalized communities, where the ideal of protection is often overshadowed by control and oppression.

"I Love America" is a project that examines the biases in cultural representation within large language models (LLMs). This series exemplifies LLM-generated art, with both imagery and concepts derived from interactions with tools like ChatGPT (DALL-E 3) and GROK (FLUX). I choose to interpret these suggestions, running selections, latent upscaling, and further compositing in Photoshop to give each image my own unique touch, which affects the degree of bias present. All images reflect the point of view provided by ChatGPT, even when they conflict with my personal beliefs. The aim is to highlight how biases in LLMs may influence more than just cultural depictions, urging reflection on their broader implications as society increasingly integrates LLMs into daily life. As reliance on AI grows, addressing data bias will become an essential challenge.
