How might that look visually?</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>ChatGPT</strong>: <em>One way to visualize this would be to show a man who embodies the stereotypical 'defender' of American values. He could be dressed in camouflage, surrounded by guns on the wall behind him, holding a beer in one hand. His chest could be adorned with bullets and tactical gear, ready for a battle that never comes. Around him, boxes of beer and snacks emphasize the blend of consumerism and the militaristic identity, creating an image that shows the almost comedic excessiveness of the cultural fixation on personal defense.</em></p><p><br></p><p>"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.</p>
