Google apologizes for ‘missing the mark’ after Gemini generated racially diverse Nazis
The Verge ^ | February 21, 2024

Posted on 02/21/2024 10:06:26 PM PST by grundle

Google has apologized for what it describes as “inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions” with its Gemini AI tool, saying its attempts at creating a “wide range” of results missed the mark. The statement follows criticism that it depicted specific white figures (like the US Founding Fathers) or groups like Nazi-era German soldiers as people of color, possibly as an overcorrection to long-standing racial bias problems in AI.

“We’re aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions,” says the Google statement, posted this afternoon on X. “We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately. Gemini’s AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that’s generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it’s missing the mark here.”

There are a lot of exemptions built into this thing

Steven Miller put in a request of a picture of Tiananmen Square - and got “ too complex , not possible”.

Presumably from present-day Namibia?

(Former “German East Africa”).

Anyone expecting anything but a bunch of woke Leftist garbage from a Google product like this has unrealistic expectations.

The stahlhelm was used by Swiss fire-rescue.

Probably cheaper to import war-surplus from Germany than to “make from scratch”.

The Swiss are very cheap!

Except that there were black nazis... In fact, there was a famous book written about Waffen SS who were black and whom hilter said he was impressed.

let’s just say that such things were not a popular read any more than H’s inspiration book the Magyar Struggle..

Artificial Intelligence = equals two oxymorons in one!

there’s nothing artificial or intelligent here, just the usual garbage-in-garbage-out of data processing, deliberately and heavily biased towards leftist fascism ...

it’s doubtful that AI can come up with anything that hadsn’t already been thought up and pre-recorded by actual humans ...

claims of AI speeding up research are nothing more than the ability of pretty much any special-purpose software to sift through large amounts of data and detect patterns, something humans COULD do if there was enough of them and they had enough time ...

remember: we landed on people the moon with equipment and trajectories designed, manufactured and launched with nothing but slide rules and manual drafting ... the first TI and HP scientific calculators had yet to be invented ... yes, there was an itty-bitty discrete-built onboard computer to handle the complex real-time guidance and stabilization tasks, but that too was designed without the help of CAD ...

Google Gemini can’t generate a “Norman Rockwell style image of American life in the 1940s” because Rockwell “idealized” American life

Just put Antifa logos in place of the Swastikas and Iron Crosses, and it’d be spot-on.

Lots of places. North Africa, Middle East, Germany itself.

Blacks were not particularly persecuted under Nazi rule and willingly joined the Waffen SS in Africa and other places.

Mind you, they were probably “next”, but at least during the war were a small, but important, part of the Nazi war effort.

I can believe the Chinese in a German uniform as the Germans did supply aid to China in the 1930s.

That there were black nazi’s is pointless to the conversation, there are white liberals, do you see any white men in those google pics?

What exactly are you trying to say with your comment?

More than anything else, I get the impression that the AI is not permitted to recreate the swastika.

Even current plastic models of German WWII aircraft no longer include the swastika decal for the tail.

Silliness.
