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.

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.

What if you asked it to show people eating watermelon?

[[When Gemini was asked why showing a picture of a White person was “harmful,” it spits out a bulleted list that, among other things, claimed that focusing on race reduced people to single characteristics and noted that “racial generalizations” have been used historically to “justify oppression and violence against marginalized groups.”]]

But I bet they have no problem showing palestinians and their anti-jewish propaganda

I watched some video of a program called Divi AI.
You can take a photo and easily remove or add people and objects.
See how easy it is.
