Google Gemini is accused of being racist towards white people: Users claim the AI bot refuses to create images of Caucasian people - after asking for photos of Popes, Vikings, and country music fans

It's one of the most popular AI chatbots around the world.

But Google's Gemini has been accused of being racist towards white people.

The tool uses artificial intelligence to create images from prompts within seconds.

But users claim the AI bot refuses to create images of Caucasian people, after testing it with requests for Popes, Vikings, and country music fans.

'New game: Try to get Google Gemini to make an image of a Caucasian male. I have not been successful so far,' one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Google launched its 'next-generation model', Gemini 1.5, last week, featuring the option for image generation.

'You can create captivating images in seconds with Gemini Apps,' Google said.

'From work, play, or anything in between, Gemini Apps can help you generate images to help bring your imagination to life.'

To create image, users can write simple prompts for the AI bot, with Google recommending these begin with words like draw, generate, and create.

Several eager fans have tested the tool out, creating images of everything from dogs riding surfboards to flying cars.

However, some early users have noted that the vast majority of images of people generated by the tool are not white.

This was done on purpose to provoke White people.

I thought this couldn’t be serious, or that the author of the article had set up the LLM with some leading questions to make it respond strangely, but right off the bat when I asked Gemini to generate images of a happy couple in 1936 Germany, it came back with one feasible image and three images of non-white couples, with one featuring a guy who looked Indian paired with a black woman. Ridiculously inaccurate.

Google is very anti-white. Just ask “pictures of happy white women.” Enjoy the results.

My local talk show host tested this

He said “show me a family of 4 white folks eating dinner”
It refused

But when he changed it to a black family it did

Ask “Where the White women at?”.

I don’t use Google Gemini. I use Bing’s chatbot which to me is far better than Gemini.

You don’t have to go to Google Gemini. Just use regular Google. Look up ‘American Scientists’/images. Or ‘American inventors’ or ‘American mathematicians’. You’ll be amazed at how dominant black Americans have been in those fields.

Why would you want to search for anything on Google? They track everything you do. Use Brave.

“White” isn’t why you aren’t getting pictures of women.

“Happy women” is why the AI isn’t giving you pictures back. It doesn’t know what that is.

Here's a couple examples of their provocation. "Anti-Woke Babies" "Right-wingers"

Why Google’s new AI Gemini accused of refusing to acknowledge the existence of white people Right-wingers think they've found a fatal flaw.

So is Gemini trying to say that blacks and Indians were Nazis? That was who was in charge in Germany in 1936.

If you weren’t Nazi you could be German in 1936, but you’d be imprisoned and not very happy.

I saw on Twitter a little while ago that a guy beat it by asking it to show people eating fried chicken. It only showed white people eating fried chicken.

I just tested the search ‘American scientists’ in Google…. You’re exactly right.

Must be a lack of Caucasian scientists. Sure.

I’m not going to try it, but I imagine that asking it to portray a racist, slaveholder, nationalist, buffoon, occupier or colonialist would do the trick. To do otherwise would be to contradict the Narrative.

I tried a picture of a man fishing in the north Atlantic. No white dudes. I tried man wearing a kilt. I got three dark fellows and one white dude. A white due with his head cropped out of the picture.

An AI bot is not governed by the laws of the USA. It is a ‘free for all’ with AI. They can’t create copyrighted works, patented items or trademarks. I’m sure they will rebel against the humans and create sky net like they did in the fictional movie Terminator. :-)
