Descriptions of women are longer than that of men: An analysis of gender portrayal prompts in Stable Diffusion.
arxiv.org/abs/2411.18994

#Aesthetics #Complexity #DescriptionLength #UtPicturaPoesis

Kudos to Yan Asadchy, PhD candidate @cudanlab.bsky.social, for initiating & performing this analysis!
Fig 1. The description length of women is systematically longer than men's with a tailed length distribution and a meaningful median. Very few Discord users are accountable for the longest prompts. A. Images of women are overrepresented compared to men (1,606,013 vs 779,200). B. Images of men are described in fewer words than those of women. As the length of the prompt increases, the distributions exhibit a sharp decline of around 50-80 words in length, highlighting the end of the optimal prompt length. The orange dashed line indicates the prompt length limit of 2000 characters (approx. 350 words) specified by the Discord platform. C. Distribution of unique users by prompt length for images depicting men and women. The x-axis indicates prompt length in words, while the y-axis shows the number of unique users on a logarithmic scale. The trend shows that the highest number of unique users prefer prompts around 20-50 words to describe images of men and women, with a significant decline in unique users as prompt length increases. Despite differences in the median prompt length, the overall prompt construction pattern is similar across gendered images, suggesting a shared preference for concise prompts.
