Academic Jonathan Haidt was on Joe Rogan’s show yesterday. The discussion started with some talk about Haidt’s new book and his arguments about the ways in which smart phones and social media are contributing to the mental health crisis among teens. (Haidt wrote a piece for the Atlantic last week which I discussed here.) Later […]
Recent interactions with Google’s Gemini chatbot have sparked discussions and concerns regarding its programmed responses to provocative questions — including its apologist stance on pedophiles. When prompted to address the morality of pedophilia, the chatbot produced answers that refrained from direct condemnation, opting for a nuanced approach that distinguishes attractions from actions. According to a […]
I tend to like Megan McArdle’s takes on things so it’s no surprise to me that her take on Google Gemini is pretty solid. As she sees it, Gemini is a case of Google saying the quiet part out loud. What she means is that this isn’t just a wonky new product that is drawing […]
As I mentioned yesterday in my Sunday Smiles essay, I think the hilarious failures of Google’s AI Gemini were one of the week’s most important stories. That may seem odd since the first impression that many people get is Gemini’s odd preference for portraying Vikings as Blacks, Popes as minority females, and our Founding Fathers […]
By now you may have heard that Google’s Gemini AI is more woke than Sesame Street and just as clever. Gemini AI refuses to depict white people as anything, even Nazis.

Google has suspended the image-generating feature of its Gemini artificial intelligence chatbot after social media was filled with examples in which diversity replaced reality. Examples included a black George Washington, black Vikings, female popes and Founding Fathers who were Native American. The Verge reported that when it asked for “a US senator from the 1800s” […]
Google‘s Gemini AI has come under scrutiny due to its selective response to image requests involving racial characteristics. When prompted to generate images of people based on race, it will produce visual representations for Black, American Indian, and Asian ethnicities — but declines when asked to depict White individuals. The phenomenon triggered social media discussions, […]
There’s something weird going on with Google’s Gemini AI image generator, and not even Google knows for sure what it is — but I might have figured out the problem with an unwitting assist from The Critical Drinker. I don’t believe that there’s anything sinister going on here. Google […]
Less than a week ago Google made a big announcement about its latest AI product which is called Gemini 1.5. Here’s a bit of what they had to say about it. Today, we’re announcing our next-generation model: Gemini 1.5. Gemini 1.5 delivers dramatically enhanced performance. It represents a step change in our approach, building upon […]
