Stanford violated AI policy after race-swapping students in ad

The good news is, America, we've progressed!

There was a time where no American university would want to showcase minority female students (or even allow females!) ... and now we have minor departments at major colleges cheating to make it look like they have such students. That truly is progress ...

... but c'mon Stanford, you don't demonstrate progress by lying with AI. You demonstrate it by actually having a diverse student body.

It's not progress. It's just flipping the discrimination in the other direction. Progress would be not noticing who needs more or less sunscreen in a photo.

progress is not caring about skin color or what is between legs not obsession over that.

'“It is Silicon Valley. I’m not as surprised given the culture of Stanford revolves heavily around AI usage,” he said of the face swap, noting that his professors also regularly use Claude, Anthropic’s AI chatbot.'

That's depressing. Why would a professor be using an AI chatbot regularly in class? What kind of example are they setting for their students?
