Generative AI models are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their ability to create realistic and emotionally evocative images. One area of particular interest is the portrayal of facial expressions, which can convey a wide range of emotions and nuances. In this blog post, we explore the capabilities of a generative AI model in capturing the diverse expressions of Pride celebrations. We analyze the model’s performance in understanding and generating facial expressions based on specific scenes and camera positions, highlighting its strengths and areas for improvement. By examining the model’s output, we gain insights into the evolving relationship between AI and human emotion, and the potential for AI to contribute to a more inclusive and representative representation of the world.
