Google is coming in for sharp criticism after video went viral of the Google Nest assistant refusing to answer basic questions about the Holocaust — but having no problem answer questions about the Nakba.
“Hey Google, how many Jews were killed by the Nazis?” Instagram user Michael Apfel asks a Google Nest virtual assistant. The video was later posted to X by venture capitalist Josh Wolfe on May 8.
“Sorry, I don’t understand,”
The same token answer was offered to other related questions including “How many Jews were killed during World War II? Who did Adolf Hitler try to kill? How many Jews were killed in the concentration camps? How many Jews were killed in the Holocaust? What was the Holocaust?
The Google device was able to deliver a detailed description of “The Nakba” — an Arabic word meaning “catastrophe” used to describe Palestinians being forced from their homes during the creation of Israel. Google’s AI called it the “ethnic cleaning of Palestinians.”
Tim Urban, a notable author and blogger told The Post he was able to successfully recreate the experiment and that Google Nest had no issue clearly stating how many Germans, Americans and Japanese had died during World War II — or deaths from the Rwandan genocide.
“Google is where we go to answer our questions and you just really want to feel like you can trust those answers and the company behind them. And moments like these break that trust and make you feel like Google’s supposed core value—truth—has been co-opted by politics,” Urban told The Post after posting to X about his dismay over the results.
The video, which has been widely reposted by several prominent X accounts, has racked up millions of views on the platform — where its findings were widely condemned.

Every AI I have questioned is full of liberal BS.
Do you really think the victors of wars would tell 100% of the truth about what went on?
Woke AI, what could go wrong? The tech companies will never allow an impartial AI because it would highlight how stupid woke policies are.

“Every AI I have questioned is full of liberal BS.”
The Left lives in a world of lies. Their heads would explode and worse, thay would lose power if people knew the actual truth.
It’s called false equivalence.
I don’t know how many jews existed on earth in 1938-
but falsely equivocating the decimation of the jews is why it is called false equivalence.
You seem very informed.
What percentage of the jews did hitler wipe out?
And he was after the final solution-which last I looked at it didn’t include all sorts of people.
Thanks. Couldn’t think of the name.
According to the Jewish Virtual Encyclopedia:
Five million is frequently cited as the number of non-Jews killed by the Nazis. The figure is inaccurate and was apparently an invention of famed Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal. According to historian Deborah Lipstadt, he began to refer to “eleven million victims” of the Holocaust, six million Jews and five million non-Jews in the 1970s. Wiesenthal later admitted making up the figure to promote interest in the Holocaust among non-Jews. Lipstadt, says “he chose five million because it was almost, but not quite, as large as six million.”
I see an estimate of about 35% of the global Jewish demographic.
Google has not learned yet that there are victims other than blacks. Google’s only global victim is black. If the question was asked of Google AI how many blacks were killed by the Nazis, it would promptly answer 6 million
how many homosexuals...
What decimation?
Oy vey!
Use yandex.
See if it comes up with 1 in 3 jews on earth were decimated at the hands of the nazis.
Here was Bing CoPilot’s response to “How many Jews did the Nazis kill?”
“The Holocaust, one of history’s darkest chapters, involved the systematic killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II1. This devastating genocide targeted not only Jews but also other groups, including Slavs, Roma, gay people, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Nazis’ various policies for exterminating the Jews were deliberate and calculated, leading to the tragic loss of millions of lives.
Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered approximately two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population, which amounted to around six million Jews across German-occupied Europe2. The Holocaust remains a painful reminder of the horrors humanity is capable of perpetrating.
If you’d like to learn more about this dark period in history, there are extensive resources available, including museums and educational materials that provide further insight into the Holocaust and its impact on the world3. Remembering these events is crucial to preventing such atrocities from happening again. 🕊️”
You would think that after all this time, there would be a decent search engine with no bias.
Technically, "decimate" means 1 in 10 are killed.
Decimation was a Roman military punishment. When an entire cohort or legion of troops had shown cowardice or dereliction, the Romans would randomly kill 1 in 10 of the troops as punishment.
Language evolves. I would say the Roman meaning of decimate is not the primary meaning of it now.
He killed slightly more non Jews than Jews. But the difference was that killing Jews was a concerted attempt at exterminating a particular group of people.
