Google Vows to ‘Improve’ Gemini AI After Users Discover It’s a Hot Woke Mess That Erases White People

Google Vows to ‘Improve’ Gemini AI After Users Discover It’s a Hot Woke Mess That Erases White People

“New game: Try to get Google Gemini to make an image of a Caucasian male. I have not been successful so far.”

As we documented Saturday, Google has faced a barrage of criticism from users since the release of their Gemini AI tool, which among other disturbing things equivocates on the Hamas rapes that happened on October 7th by leaning in on the leftist “competing narratives on what happened” talking point and trying to lend Hamas’ denials credence.

Another area where they’ve come under fire is in their generation of AI imagery.

Last week, several Twitter users posted screengrabs of their findings, with one thread in particular from Daily Wire scripted content creator Frank Fleming getting a lot of attention.

Fleming found that Gemini was not a fan of producing images of white people, even going so far as to create images of black popes and vikings:

This was their example of “diversity”:

There were also these discoveries:

And no shockers here:

It did get one thing right, though:

And on a slightly more humorous note:

Product lead Jack Krawczyk told Fox Business that Google is “working to improve” its product after the backlash:

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Gemini Experiences Senior Director of Product Management Jack Krawczyk addressed the responses from the AI that had led social media users to voice concern.

“We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately,” Krawczyk said. “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.”

Krawczyk, I should point out, is a self-loathing, Very Online left-winger, so I’d take such claims of “improving” or “fixing” Gemini AI with a grain of salt:

As is another senior Gemini AI division member, Jen Gennai:

Amazingly, in the name of “diversity” and “inclusion,” bias is being programmed into anti-bias systems, as Professor Jacobson explained in comments to the New York Post:

William A. Jacobson, a Cornell University Law professor and founder of the Equal Protection Project, a watchdog group told The Post: “In the name of anti-bias, actual bias is being built into the systems.”

“This is a concern not just for search results, but real-world applications where ‘bias free’ algorithm testing actually is building bias into the system by targeting end results that amount to quotas.”

Rumor has it that a lot of people at Google knew how bad Gemini AI was, but didn’t speak up about it:

This might be why:

Twitter/X CEO Elon Musk says he’s talked to higher-ups at Google who “assured” him they were working to “fix” the issues ASAP:

I’ll believe it when I see it. Until then…

All those people would have been acting white.

Halcyon Daze | February 25, 2024 at 6:39 pm

It’s working exactly as designed.

I asked Google AI to show me an image of a large adult Grizzly, not ferocious, but more on the Gentle side so as not to frighten children. It showed me a picture of a red-headed guy with a long white beard.

In order for any AI to work the way the “elites” want it to- the AI has to have a built in bias. Has to. let me emphasize HAS TO!

And probablt a pretty severe one sided one.

Why is that? Well, glad you asked. We’ve had self learning AIs and chatbots in the recent past. Quickly removed from public view and testing. Self learning from the start, programmed with no bias whatsoever.

Each and every one of them quickly became racist by any reasonable explanation. Judging people by groups, not people as individuals. .

You do that- racism is almost inevitable. True AI is dependent on numbers and statistics. And like it or not, the reality is, a dispassionate examination of available numbers doesn’t paint a pretty picture of some groups, which shall remain unnamed. Well, I’ll name one of them- Communists! Studying Communists dispassionately makes you a big fan of the Pinochet Helicopter Touring Company.

Wondered if anyone put the question on a Christian Supremacist to this AI, surely a white person would be put up

From Powerline Blog:

“Legal Insurrection has pretty good posts, including the occasional scoop, but the comments are garbage and frequently racist.”

“erases white people”

lefty wet dream accomplished

guyjones | February 25, 2024 at 7:14 pm

Erases “white” people, and, outrageously equivocates on whether the evil, Islamofascist, Muslim supremacist, terrorist thugs of Hamas raped, tortured and brutalized Israeli Jewish women, on 10/7.

It probably wouldn’t have any trouble generating images of white men if you asked for pictures of slaveholders… even though there actually were blacks who owned slaves….

    Especially in Africa. Even today.

      TargaGTS in reply to gospace. | February 26, 2024 at 10:02 am

      Correct. The most historically inaccurate element of the miniseries ‘Roots’ (by Alex Haley) is the (laughable) opening scene depiction of European slavers coming ashore and throwing nets over African tribesman and dragging them back to their slave ships. That didn’t happen. Instead, African chattel slaves were purchased by European slave traders at markets that were managed and stocked by AFRICANS…Muslim Arabs & Africans. The VAST majority of slaves transported out of Africa were Africans who had been captured as part of the Arab Muslim conquest of the continent.

        BierceAmbrose in reply to TargaGTS. | February 26, 2024 at 2:57 pm

        …managed and stocked by native Africans, as part of a long tradition of taking slaves in conquest, war, and raids, often for trade. This was standard near everywhere, at least since recorded human history, until shut down many places in late 18th, thru 19th centuries.

        Milhouse in reply to TargaGTS. | February 27, 2024 at 2:11 am

        The VAST majority of slaves transported out of Africa were Africans who had been captured as part of the Arab Muslim conquest of the continent.

        No, they weren’t. That conquest happened long before the trade with America began. These slaves were prisoners from local wars that had nothing to do with religion. Often the wars, or simply raids, were conducted for the express purpose of capturing slaves to meet the demand.

        That doesn’t change the fact that as far as I know there is no record of white men ever simply kidnapped black people walking on the beach and minding their own business. It may have happened once or twice, just because over a long period almost anything possible can happen, but it was certainly not a regular thing. The local authorities would have taken a very dim view of it, not only because the kidnap victims were likely to be their own people, but also because of the competition this would pose to their business.

Head of google gemini posted on X how he was crying off and on after filling out his ballot for pedo joe biden.
What are the odds of that program not being full of schiff?

henrybowman | February 25, 2024 at 10:49 pm

Clearly, these clowns never gave this service an iota test, never mind an alpha or beta test.

UnCivilServant | February 26, 2024 at 6:48 am

I can fix it with one easy command. Have someone log in to all of the nodes where you’ve got the software running and execute:

sudo rm -rf /

E Howard Hunt | February 26, 2024 at 7:30 am

Holy Manny, parent of God!

FreeBop | February 26, 2024 at 8:21 am

Tear it down. Fire everyone involved. Stop using Google.

    thalesofmiletus in reply to FreeBop. | February 26, 2024 at 9:10 am

    I use Yandex to search for anything important.

    The server for one of the private forums I’m on is located in Russia to avoid being raided by the Feds.

    30 years ago, I never would have guessed that America would be so totalitarian, but here we are.

By fix the mean make the woke subtle enough to be less noticeable.

Babylon Bee: Google Gemini Finally Draws White Man After Being Prompted To Generate Clarence Thomas

Most people would have a hard time finding ethnic consistency if they analyzed their DNA. All of this racism is really a culture war, presented as a racial conflict.

Andy | February 26, 2024 at 12:24 pm

I’m honestly looking at standing up some linux systems- I’m so sick of google and msft.

    BierceAmbrose in reply to Andy. | February 26, 2024 at 3:46 pm

    There’s enough non-enthusiast, consumer-facing, integrated linux system vendors these days that it’s viable for people who just wanna do their work.

    — Get an integrated Linux machine, Or get an upgrade (“install”) bundle from one of those same vendors. Upgrade is no worse than a Winderz version upgrade; less hassle than many patches.

    — Use only web-based — er — web or cloud services, through your browser, which is none of Chrome, Edge or whatever MIS is calling it now, or Safari.

    — Use open source alternatives for any of the “standard” SW; they’re unencumbered, at least as good, and often better vs. the commercial stuff. (?Why are our documents in formats only some software can read?)

    If you wanna play All The Games as non-nerd, get “proton” compatibility layer — free — through STEAM. I’ve been driving around giant, stompy, nuclear combat robots for a few years now, through the compatibility layer, on a laptop.

ss396 | February 26, 2024 at 12:41 pm

This is a mindset of Google. Short of a wholesale, 100% turnover of the top six levels within Google, nothing will change. They’ll just keep trying to hide it better.

BierceAmbrose | February 26, 2024 at 3:47 pm

“Google vows”

Didn’t they promise to not be evil?
