Failures and successes. You can't get this thing to generate any white people at all, no matter how explicitly or implicitly you ask.

Idk, but watch this live demo: https://youtube.com/watch?v=69vx8ozQv-s He couldn't do it.

There could have been multiple versions of Gemini active at any given time. Or, A/B testing, or somehow they faked it to help Google out. Or maybe they fixed it already, less than 24 hours after hitting the press. But the current fix is to not do images at all.

You could have literally done the test yourself as I did only a day ago but instead link me to some Youtuber who according to Wikipedia:

> In 2023, The New York Times described Pool's podcast as "extreme right-wing", and Pool himself as "right-wing" and a "provocateur".

Which is kinda funny because the majority of his content is reading articles from places like the New York Times.

They're just straight up lying about him.
