The underlying reason for this limitation lies partially in the generic training dataset of generative artificial intelligence programs and services like Midjourney, which lacks adequate recognition of regional and cultural variations," researchers from the UAE&rsquo;s University of Sharjah explain.</p> <p>The matter touches on the limits of AI&rsquo;s integration into the design process.
