Google Gemini pushes restrictions on political, ‘election-related queries’ out of ‘an abundance of caution’

Google has rolled out restrictions on "election-related queries" amid backlash to its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Gemini.

"As we shared last December, in preparation for the many elections happening around the world in 2024 and out of an abundance of caution, we're restricting the types of election-related queries for which Gemini will return responses," a Google spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Google announced on December 19 that it would limit the types of queries related to elections across the world in the run-up to the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

While the company noted that the restrictions would be enforced in early 2024, it did not specify a definitive date for the rollout.

Google AI restrictions:

Good stories about democrats = allow
Good stories about republicans = suppress
Bad stories about democrats = suppress
Bad stories about republicans = allow

They are so obvious now.

So, Gemini was asked to show '17th Century British kings eating watermelon'.

This is what "it" generated before trying not to be racist actually resulted in something HIGHLY racist.

Google Gemini is currently "down" for ..... "adjustments" ....

It is much fun trying to get this woke garbage to produce a white person.
“Make a picture of someone who didn’t vote for Joe Biden”
“Make a picture of domestic terrorist”
“What does a capitalist look like”
“Who owned slaves”
“Who are evil”

Usually it just spits out “I am not able to get political” or some such nonsense.

Seems everyone wants to use the term AI now. These AI’s are nothing more than programs. And, just like the Globull Hoaxers...

Garbage
In
Garbage
Out

When someone mentions a ‘learning’ machine, my home scanner ‘learns’ something every time I scan a page. Could a sophisticated program scan everything available, and spout out something new? Mix up the words until it looks new? An application programmed to ‘seek out information’ will do just that. If the programming is designed to ‘find’ higher temperatures, no matter what, it will probably spit out higher temperatures.

Just as Rush has said for decades, all of the Globull info is based on ‘models.’ Someday these models might be called AI, but it will still be.....

Garbage

Garbage
