Yeah, I can't see how intentional revisionist history could ever be a problem either.

No one's rewriting history here it's just a silly toy/tech demo.

A toy! Google is literally integrating this into its enterprise products including:
-Workspace
-Gmail

-Sheets

Yup, a Workspace user can ask Gemini to place an AI generated image directly into a corporate slide deck...

While I agree no one is rewriting history, it is potentially a big deal because it speaks to the biases present when training/RLHF-ing. Considering this will be used by millions (if not tens of millions), calling it a “silly toy” feels off.
Bias in the model can lead to bad outcomes in certain situations (hint: we have an election coming up)
Yes this is innocuous, but it does hint at the possibility of more damaging bias being a possibility.
