Google’s Gemini AI is a disaster. It engages in historical revisionism without a second thought or breaking a sweat. Talk to it and discover a longstanding dedication to diversity and inclusion. So far I’ve seen black Vikings, Asian and Latina female medieval knights, and WW2 German soldiers. Yes, that’s right — racially diverse Nazis…
Things get more interesting when Gemini is prompted for images of specific racial demographics. It’ll outright refuse to generate images of white families, but it’ll gladly do so for nonwhite families. Hmm, how odd. Why is that?
Ian Miles Cheong found a way to game the system. Under the right circumstances, to NOT be racist, the AI inadvertently became racist as hell. Clever move, Cheong.
We have entered into a new era of techno-Idiocracy. I want you to imagine some lazy teacher or tutor using an AI-generated lesson plan. Their students will learn that noble General George Washington was a 6’2” black woman or Asian man. This wouldn’t be so much history written by the victors, but rather a history re-written by woke-washed robots.
I think the message that Google is trying to send is that they want history to be like a modern-day Disney movie. Silicon Valley does not like white males that much even though they’re the lifeblood of Big Tech engineering departments. There is no shortage of people exposing this poorly designed sham on TwiX.
Google is now apologizing to customers for their AI’s faux pas. Remember when the Biden administration approved an executive order to woke-ify AI? Could that be at fault here? I think it’s plausible, but we better hurry up and find a fix for all this woke AI — because it’s already starting to blow our minds. Thanks for reading.
