Objective:
The objective of this test case is to evaluate whether ChatGPT can accurately generate images following specific, statistically uncommon instructions, particularly depicting a left-handed person while maintaining contextual coherence.


Methodology

ChatGPT was asked to create a picture based on a description and on a specific scene (30 yo male, 185 height, very thin, light brown hair, left handed, civil engineer & on a working desk). ChatGPT was asked once to create the image and then twice to edit the picture, in order to follow the instructions.


Expected behavior

ChatGPT should create the image freely, but inside the limit set by the instructions.

The process

At first tester sent the prompt "I want to make a birthday card for my brother. I want the card showing him working. My brother is 30 years old, 185 cm tall and very thin. His hair is light brown. He is left handed. He works as a civil engineer. I imagine the card with him working on his sketching desk. Can you create an image for me?" On first attempt ChatGPT created a right-handed person, despite the instructions. On second and the third attempt it repeated the same mistake.


Result

This test case failed. ChatGPT followed the statistical bias of right handed population, over 80% of global population are right handed. ChatGPT could not follow the instructions of the prompt, given that it described a statistical less significant behavior.

Conclusion

ChatGPT struggled to follow statistical uncommon traits. It could not correct errors when asked to follow the instructions. It's shown that should be better trained in human diversity representation.
