Venturing under the hood and across platform ecosystems, this book demonstrates how text-to-image models offer a new playground for racism, misogyny, and xenophobia.

From photorealistic bigotry to algorithmic caricatures, cutting-edge AI tools are not just reproducing hate but remaking it in novel ways.

Drawing together a technical understanding of AI systems and a deep familiarity with both hate and meme cultures, this book offers specific examples, lays out the key characteristics of generative hate, and suggests how content moderation might become more AI-attuned.

Generative Hate is a call to action for scholars, technologists, and citizens to understand and confront this emerging phenomenon.
