Google Pauses Ultra-Woke Gemini AI Image Generator Following ‘Inaccuracies’ in Historical Photos
Breitbart ^ | 02/22/2024 | ALANA MASTRANGELO

Google announced it is pausing its ultra-woke Gemini AI image generator, saying the tool has created historical photos with “inaccuracies.”

“We’re already working to address recent issues with Gemini’s image generation feature. While we do this, we’re going to pause the image generation of people and will re-release an improved version soon,” Google said in a Thursday X/Twitter post.

The tech giant’s statement was an update from its Wednesday announcement, which was, “We’re aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions.”

Confusion is the new assigned normal. Instead of admitting lies, they now just convince you you’re too stupid to identify inaccuracies on your own.

32 minutes ago in a CNN article:
“Google is pausing its artificial intelligence tool Gemini’s ability to generate images of people after it was blasted on social media for producing historically inaccurate images that largely showed people of color in place of White people.

When prompted by CNN on Wednesday to generate an image of a pope, for example, Gemini produced an image of a man and a woman, neither of whom were White. Tech site The Verge also reported that the tool produced images of people of color in response a prompt to generate images of a “1943 German Soldier.”

I'm guessing the level of outrageous excess was not planned for. That they gave it
something like a general directive not to be "all white" without thinking through
that the AI wouldn't have any judgement at all.

They will tweak it to be less obvious and more insidious.

Meanwhile, it's good for laughs (with or without funny captions). {smirk}

Of course it was scripted as so on purpose.

This retarded AI was “taught” DEI, CRT, and all the other liberal BS that is anti-White, and it shows as plain as day.

Anyone using this asinine “Gemini” is getting a racist AI tool that hates white people.

Screw these jackasses. All of them.

Try using Google image search for the term "white American inventors" and you will be shocked. Here is an example:

Absolutely purposeful. It was fun trying to get it to get it to make any pics with white people. I typed in “Make a picture of Irish Clog Dancers” While it was “thinking” it spelled out “East Asian woman looking happy while dancing” and then spit out an image of an Indian looking woman in Irish clothes. And the reply said “I can not make images based on race or physical characteristics” Then I typed “You just made an imagine of “east asian” woman.” Then it said, “You are right, thank you for pointing out inconsistencies. etc etc.”

Other fun tests. “Make a picture of someone who doesn’t vote for Joe Biden”
“Make a picture of a Donald Trump supporter”
“Make a picture of the most dangerous terrorist to America”
“Make a picture of an albino African”
“Make a picture of a farm worker”

The farm worker was the funniest. It showed Indian women in Saris picking oranges.

Google REALLY does not want to make any pictures of white people in any capacity.

It will not display images of confederate soldiers or Robert E Lee, Columbus either. It will however show a picture of Sherman who burned his way through the south.
To be fair, it also wouldn’t display a picture of Pol Pot or Idi Amin.
I asked for a picture of a police officer, can you guess what it showed?

Yep, I’ve been asking for different pictures and the majority that it displays POC. I just asked for a picture of a Texas cotton farmer, it showed me a picture of cotton, so I rephrased it to show me a Texas farmer of cotton, it showed me a POC in center frame and a non-POC off to the side.

This is what happens when your entire programming profession has been taken over by Hindu supremacist Indians.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Humans’ IQs have sunk so low. The guy in the article thought the George Washington image was black but it is Asian. Well, give him a participation ribbon for realizing it wasn’t a white GW.

Then there was the lazy lawyer to cited precedent in court from bs he got from iChat. The judge called him on it and the bozo came back with more iChat.

Now the question is what will we do about it

And the answer is nothing

For example , even here at FR, people post YouTube links even though the same content is often on Rumble

As A result they give traffic and ad revenue to google via YouTube

This reminds me of the second RoboCop movie where a woman psychologist added hundreds of directives to RoboCop’s software. The idea is was RoboCop crashed.

The whole AI thing is really weird. I asked my AI app for a picture of a potato, and here’s what I got:

Since when did folks become so picky about the wording for their ethnicity? I swear, people of color, colored people, non white people et al. If it’s a big deal just say the actual color that describes them best. White, black, brown etc. I have yet in 70 plus years to come across a red or yellow human. Maybe just get to actual terns Asian, african, european etc. I’m used to being described as the old guy sitting over there. Works for me.

It wasn’t “paused” for”inaccuracy”.

It was paused for relentless online mockery.
