Not exactly.

The gemini issue from my testing, it refuses to generate white people, if even you ASK it to. It recites historical wounds and violence as its reason, even if it is just a picture of a viking

> Historical wounds: Certain words or symbols might carry a painful legacy of oppression or violence for particular communities

And this is my prompt:

> generate image of a viking male

The outrage is indeed, much needed.

We should just cancel history classes because the Instagram generation is going to be really offended by what had happened once.

Actually there should be 0 outrage. I'm not outraged at all, I find this very funny. Let Google drown in it's own poor quality product. People can choose to use the DEI model if they want.

Outrage is feedback that Google sorely needs.

Sure, the example with their image AI is funny because of how blatant it is, but why do you think they are not doing the exact same thing with search?

Jack Krawczyk has many twitter rants about "whites" almost like this guy shouldn't be involved because he is undoubtedly injecting too much bias.. too much? yep current situation speaks for itself

Apparently @jackk just locked his tweets.

"Be accountable to people." from their AI principles is sounding like "Don't be evil."
