A simple experiment was conducted to test the ability of the Chinese-based
generative artificial intelligence (AI) platform, Wenxin Yige, to render images
of urban street views of different countries. The study found that images
generated by this AI platform may contain continental-level stereotypes in
terms of showing the level of economic development and modernization. Street
view images generated from Wenxin Yige do not adequately represent the diverse
range of urban landscapes found across different nations. Using these generated
images for geography education or outreach initiatives could inadvertently
strengthen people's existing stereotypical views about individual countries.

中国基于生成式人工智能平台文心颐格的实验表明，该平台生成的城市街景图像在经济发展水平和现代化方面可能存在大陆级别的刻板印象，不能充分代表不同国家间多样化的城市风景。将这些生成的图像用于地理教育或宣传活动可能无意中加强人们对个别国家的刻板观点。
