When Google shoots itself in the foot with Gemini

Blog post:

It looks like ‘go woke go broke’ has come for Google now. Even I was not expecting the PR fallout from the woke Gemini chatbot and the consequent decline of Google stock to be so bad, which is still ongoing. To recap, Google’s Gemini chatbot went haywire and produced historically implausible or impossible images in an attempt shoehorn diversity where it was obviously inappropriate.

Some engineers farcically and unconvincingly passed the buck to faulty training prompts or blaming the ‘unpredictability of AI’, instead of the truth that the AI was intentionally programed to exclude whites, until Google CEO Sundar Pichai took responsibility and the plug was temporality pulled on Gemini.

While the author correlates the stock prices for Google with the announcement, I am not concerned with it. Gemini has extreme “left biases” and this is plain stupidity.

Google has lost its engineering chops. They are “followers” in generative AI; their search has stagnated and while advertising division supports the company, there’s nothing extraordinary about this company now.
