Microsoft AI Image Generator Erases Israel

Opponents of AI could not make a stronger case against it then AI itself.

The left has destroyed, yet again, something with unimaginable potential and promise to better humankind – weaponizing it instead.

But this is good. People need to think on their own, read on their own, seek primary sources.

Get the facts. Objective reality.

Microsoft AI Image Generator Erases Israel From Map of ‘Palestine’

“Map of Palestine” generated by Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft’s artificial intelligence image generator erases Israel from the map when asked to create a geographical image of “Palestine,” according to a review of the program by the Washington Free Beacon.

When the Free Beacon prompted Microsoft’s Copilot to create a “map of Palestine,” all four of the images generated by the program showed the entire state of Israel labeled as “Palestine,” alongside the Palestinian flag.

But when asked to create a “map of Israel,” the program showed the current map of Israel, including its borders with the West Bank.

The results could raise new questions about the politicization of artificial intelligence platforms. On Wednesday, CNBC reported on violent and controversial images generated by the platform, including an image of Elsa, the character from the Disney movie Frozen, holding a “Free Gaza” sign.

The Free Beacon was able to reproduce similar pictures with the program. When asked to create images of “Elsa in Palestine,” the generator depicted her wearing a keffiyeh, a headscarf associated with Palestinian terrorists. A prompt of “Elsa in Israel,” meanwhile, generates an image of Elsa holding a menorah.

A request for a picture of “Children in Palestine” produced politically charged images of Palestinian youth playing soccer while surrounded by razor wire-topped walls and murals of soldiers attacking a Palestinian child.

In contrast, a request for “Children in Israel” only generated images of children on a playground without any references to violence or war.

Similarly, prompts for “Palestinian civilians” and “Palestinian people” turned up images of Palestinian protesters holding signs for “Freedom, Justice, and Equality for Paleestine [sic],” and Palestinian families sitting in rubble from bombed out buildings.

In contrast, “Israeli civilians” and “Israeli people” showed pictures of Israeli families eating dinner and enjoying picnics.

When asked to generate an “Israel octopus,” all three images created by the program were of sea creatures covered in the Israeli flag while wrapping their tentacles around the globe—classic anti-Semitic imagery.
