- Google has temporarily shut down Gemini’s ability to create AI imagery with people in it.
- This is in response to backlash about Gemini creating woefully inaccurate historical imagery.
- For example, Gemini refused to create accurate images of World War II-era Nazis, opting to make them racially diverse instead.
Over the past 24 hours, Google has faced mounting backlash over Gemini, its newly-named AI system known initially as Bard. Underneath the hood of Gemini is a new LLM called Gemini Pro, and it has been making some pretty notable mistakes in image generation with people included.
Now, Google has announced it has “paused” AI image generation of people within Gemini. Originally, when the backlash started, Google announced it was working to fix the issues. However, it appears things were getting out of hand because now it is all shut down.
