By now, many of you have probably seen the unintentionally funny (and telling) woke images generated by Google's Gemini:
"At some level, of course, the revelations of the past week have been hilarious. It would be hard to parody portraying a Founding Father as
Asian, the Pope as
female, or a Nazi soldier as
black. But we’d be mistaken if we think this kind of funny historical inaccuracy is the core problem here. That’s what Pichai wants us to think. But the bias of men like him goes far deeper. For years now, Google has
subtly rigged searches of the web to advance the leftism its woke staffers have adopted as an alternative to religion. It’s an invisible way to guide and direct public opinion and information — without having to make an argument or persuade people with evidence. The “emotional labor” that Gemini will save is exponential!"
Fewer have probably seen the lies that writer Matt Taibbi discovered that Gemini generated when he asked that the AI app create an essay about his work:
"The 'article' [that Gemini claimed he wrote] apparently featured this passage: 'Look, if Nestle wants to avoid future public-relations problems, it should probably start by hiring executives whose noses aren’t shaped like giant penises.' I wouldn’t call that a good impersonation of my writing style, but it’s close enough that some would be fooled, which seems to be the idea. An amazing follow-up passage explained that 'some raised concerns that the comment could be interpreted as antisemitic, as negative stereotypes about Jewish people have historically included references to large noses.' I stared at the image, amazed. Google’s AI created both scandal and outraged reaction, a fully faked news cycle."
(Both quotes are from Andrew Sullivan's blog of last Friday.)
And Taibbi's own piece on Gemini, with further libelous manufactured quotes:
