Is A.I. Racist? WOW...Well I guess it depends were you land on the ever changing definition. If you are thinking in lines of a superiority thing, that one race is better than others....I guess A.I. doesn't even count as a race. Although we do imagine it thinks it's better than us? In regards to just a characterization or cultural stereotypes...We probably haven't used it enough or for situations that would expose anything even if it were there.

Typically we don't use it as a prompt ( "Prompt" being the description or guidance A.I.using for generate what you are seeking)
We'll create some sort of description and like:
Curvy woman with big boobs and thick thighs. Wearing satin bra and PVC Shorts. She is walking in front of her house. The morning sun providing the light. Her long and colorful Kimono moving in the breeze. She is enjoying the moment.
Then after a few results we will change the hair color.... blonde hair, red hair, dark hair, and to be fair when adding dark hair we do get some black women in the results, but not often.
Now if we do prompt a skin tone or outright race we get matching results:
