Why Google discontinued images with Gemini

Why Google discontinued images with Gemini

Google has suspended image generation via Gemini after many historical error reports. All the details

Google has temporarily suspended AI image generation via Gemini, its large language model . The company explained that it took this decision following the increase in reports from users who reported errors following the creation of images that refer to historical episodes.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH GEMINI

More specifically, Gemini generated images of American politicians and German soldiers of the Second World War that were impossible due to ethnicity and gender: black and Asian Nazis, for example, or women senators in the United States in the 19th century.

“AIs would be too 'woke' and this would be the proof, we read in many lively discussions on social media. 'The Nazis seen by Netflix or Disney', to name the two platforms that more than any other over the years have ended up victims of controversy for their inclusive choices in the casts", wrote the Corriere della Sera , reporting some criticisms of artificial intelligence by Google.

GOOGLE STATEMENTS

“We are aware that Gemini offers inaccuracies in some historical representations of image generation,” Google said in a statement. “We are working to resolve the problem.”

Jack Krawczyk, Senior Director of Product at Gemini, said that “historical contexts are more nuanced and we will further adapt to comply.”

SERVICE SUSPENDED UNTIL THE RELEASE OF A NEW VERSION

The generation of images depicting people on Gemini will therefore be suspended until the release of a new improved version: the functionality was introduced at the beginning of February.
