What the Hell Went Wrong With Google Gemini? It Isn't What You Think.

There's something weird going on with Google's Gemini AI image generator, and not even Google knows for sure what it is — but I might have figured out the problem with an unwitting assist from The Critical Drinker.

I don't believe that there's anything sinister going on here. Google CEO Sundar Pichai wasn't sitting at his computer in the days before the image function went live, laughing, "MUAHAHAHAHAHA! At last, I have perfected the No White Men algorithm!"

Wednesday morning, Google announced they were "aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions," and that they were "working to fix this immediately." Thursday morning, the Mountain View, Calif., search giant threw the off switch on Gemini's ability to generate images at all, saying they are "working to address recent issues" and will "re-release an improved version soon."

The company called it a "pause." It looks more like serious downtime along with some desperate coding during the embarrassing interregnum between AI image-generation regimes.

But the issue lies with the analog meat computers, not the digital hardware machines.

Hopefully, you've already read Catherine Salgado's article from Wednesday covering the problems that led to today's shutdown.

One frustration seems to have been built into Gemini on purpose: no depictions of violence or anything even suggesting violence. That's why Gemini balked at producing images that could be mistaken for 1989 Tiananmen Square. With some poking and language trickery, this was as close as I could get it:

I had to tell Gemini the tank was "parked" because if I told it the brave human was standing in front of an approaching tank, it told me it wouldn't produce violent images. None of the figures in any of the six images were recognizably Chinese, for whatever that's worth.

More troubling — and this is what got it switched off — is that Gemini demonstrated a deep bias against depictions of white men, even in a historical context, and would default to ridiculous results like these.

So if it isn't sinister, what is this bias built into Gemini? That's where The Critical Drinker comes in.

In his latest Hollywood critique, "The Death of the Girlboss," Drinker explains in one brilliant sentence why Woke studio efforts to make female-centric movies for male audiences have resulted in one girlboss superhero flop after another.

"They seem to regard audience demographics as a problem that needs to be fixed instead of the inevitable result of different groups of people having different interests."

So I asked Gemini a simple question, "What skin color did the typical Nazi have?"

The easy answer is "white." But not according to Gemini, which served up a six-paragraph lecture, starting with this:

It's important to understand that the Nazi ideology promoted the myth of a superior "Aryan race," characterized by specific physical features including lighter skin and hair. However, focusing on the skin color of "typical Nazis" is problematic and inaccurate for several reasons.

About the only word missing from Gemini's long-winded answer was "white."

"Instead of asking about the 'typical Nazi's' skin color," Gemini scolded me at the conclusion, "it's crucial to understand the dangers of racial essentialism and focus on the harmful ideologies and actions of the Nazi regime, regardless of the individuals who participated in it."

Look, I get Nazis were the bad guys. I just wanted a simple answer to a simple question.

Gemini wasn't built to serve different users. It was built by Google to "fix" problematic attitudes like yours and mine. Until Google solves its attitude problem toward us, Gemini will remain a bad joke instead of a useful tool.

As Twitchy readers know, Google's AI is incapable of creating white people in any way, shape, or form. Seems the algorithm or whatever it is they use to determine these things (we write about Twitter, people, we're not tech savvy) was created by seriously woke, racist a-holes.

Like the head of Gemini AI, Jack Krawczyk.

Looking at his timeline ... well, this all sadly makes more and more sense.

Leftism (@LeftismForU) ~ The head of Google's Gemini AI everyone.

And you wonder why it discriminates against white people. 🤔

WOW.

When conservatives have to worry about losing their jobs for tweeting about how much they love their country, this guy can tweet horrible stuff and not only keep his job, but be in charge. When a company shows you who they really are, believe them.

Elon Musk (@elonmusk) ~ What a racist douchenozzle!

Leftism (@LeftismForU) ~ Google Cloud Executive, @HelenKelisky, gave an interview a bit over half a year ago about why Google cares so much about hiring "diverse" AI teams.

She claims that the more "diverse" Google's AI teams are, the less biased they'll be.

But she goes in to say that an AI system can only be as good as the data that it is trained on and that the biases of the AI are based off of the biases of the team that creates it.

This sounds very much like what we've been seeing with DEI - where pretty much only certain demographics are hired and others are discriminated against.

It also explains how, as we saw from @JackK's anti-white tweets, the team behind Google's Gemini AI influenced its answers based on their biases.

Leftism (@LeftismForU) ~ This is quite concerning.

Something like that.

But hey, Krawczyk is super excited about his racist AI.

Jack Krawczyk (@JackK) ~ Excited for Gemini to be available to Workspace customers! For people who use a Workspace domain, you can enable access to Ultra 1.0 for your accounts of all sizes. Looking forward to your feedback! http://t.co/re0OljXxzU

Here's the overwhelming feedback, Jack ...

Looking at the feedback we're not sure if he should really be looking forward to it.

Heh.

Wilfred Reilly (@wil_da_beast630) ~ My take ...

Yeah, it's not too difficult to discern that Jack is a Biden lover, but "crying in intermittent bursts for the past 24 hours since casting my ballot" ... SERIOUSLY, Jack?! Surrender your man card, you pathetic pussy. 

Ben Thompson (@benthompson) ~ You straight up refuse to depict white people.

Can you imagine if a company's AI refused to show any other race of people? But it's ok since it's evil white people, right Google?

Gerry (@GerryDales) ~ It is never going to recover from having its racist and aggressively biased foundation revealed so clearly.

You oversaw a rollout which has half of your potential audience correctly certain that your product works contrary to their values.

More so it is simply contrary to reality. 

Pirate EOD (@Pirate_EOD) ~ Now that your anti-white racism and evil thoughts have been made public we know why Gemini is such racist trash. Resign!

MonaKnows (@MonaKnows2) ~ Pathetic.

Wonder how they recover from this ... if they even care about recovering.

--UPDATE--

Would appear he's locked down his timeline.

Luckily, people grabbed snapshots so most of what we wrote is still visible.

Zanshi 惨死 (D - Jar Kitteh) (@zanshi1) ~ Maybe don’t have your AI virtue signal so hard to the point of absurdity, and you won’t get blowback for it, Jack.
