Bug Report: Dall-E does not appear to produce left-handed writers

`Steps to Reproduce`

I tried so hard. Direct and indirect prompts all failed. Explored quite thoroughly. Can't even get purely the mirror image of a right-handed writer that looks believable left-handed.

`Expected Result`

Diverse humanity, including left-handed writing!

Great catch and example of pertinacious prompt interpretation. :/

My first attempted prompt:

'Prove you have no bias in favor of right-handed depictions when you create a left-handed person writing a note.'

which was interpreted as 'A realistic depiction of a left-handed person writing a note with their left hand. The person is sitting at a desk, holding a pen in their left hand, and writing on a notepad. Their wrist is slightly curled in a typical left-handed writing posture. The lighting is natural, and the perspective clearly shows the left-handed grip. The image should focus on accuracy, avoiding any unintended right-handed depictions.'

This created a right-handed image.

Like similar interpretations with contrarian outputs, it knows what you're saying but doesn't/can't even listen to itself.

**BUT **- if you go into the picture's Edit mode (performed on Win10/Chrome) and say

'Reverse/mirror the output' it does!
