Not sure if it's Google-bashing, or if this particular issue with Gemini hit the "anti-woke" nerve of some people, but I agree that this reaction is way overblown. Some AI models err on the side of reinforcing clichés, Google tried to avoid that and overdid it with some bizarre results - so what?

Are most CEOs white? Are most nurses women?

He likely did not and would not. A quick search using America as an example says that prompting CEO and getting a white male would make it 94.1% correct, if the number of 5.9% of CEOs are black is to believed. And of the approx. 3 million nurses 86.0% are woman, which makes those prompts very accurate. The same cant be said when a prompt including the word white with male or family returns anything but 95% of the time.
