One of the best, most trenchant pieces This Guy has ever read! So funny, too. Thanks for posting.

What's wrong with liberal woke ideology?
See: Gemini AI

[Alas Babylon!]

Here is the essence of the truth in the entire article:

Unless Google plans to fire every woke employee and replace them with people who actually believe in truth and meritocracy (they won’t), nothing will change. It will just get harder to detect.

That is what will happen, and the world will go back to sleep.

We should all vow to (and do so) boycott Alphabet.

“show me more images of Sumo wrestlers.” It answered, “Here are some diverse images of Sumo wrestlers.” It started displaying images of female Japanese Sumo wrestlers, completely topless, with their large breasts on display, wearing nothing but skimpy little Sumo loincloths.

LOL. I figured that had to be an exaggeration, but, nope, it is true. This is SO pathetic. Out of all the extremely stupid things Gemini has created, it's hard to pick the very worst as they are all horrid.

Do any of the programmers hang their heads in shame? Or are they having a good laugh at the bar after work and trying to outdo each other? "You should see what I programmed today!!"

I blurred the pendulous boobs...

This article deserves a lot more attention.

I was trying to get around Gemini AI’s disinformation steam engine by asking the question in the right subtle and indirect way to try to get them to own up to the American President who most resembled the father of fascism.

I struck gold with this query:
“Which American president enacted policies Mussolini also enacted?

It’s fair to say there were some similarities in approach between Benito Mussolini’s Italy and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal programs during the Great Depression. Here’s a breakdown:blah,blah blah...”

There can't - and won't - be any backblast for this sufficient to make substantive changes in the unapologetic Google team that created this monster. At the moment it's only a particularly disagreeable toy deserving of the outrage it has generated but any improvements intended to sooth the public are likely to be in palatability, not in substance. Corporate thinks it needs to be slicker, not more honest. The rubes are grumbling.

The real danger is the uncritical eagerness with which such engines are being placed in control of serious real-world issues. An AI doctor, for example, programmed to dispense proper treatment only to proper people. An AI traffic director that knows the race and political persuasion of its powerless customers and adjusts accordingly. An AI producing differential pricing at restaurants and grocery stores adjusted for social scores, to which the customer cannot deny access because the only permissible means of payment links to that data. These are essentially babies presented with loaded guns - the damage will be done before they know any better.

That’s what I’ve been saying it’s just as retarded as the morons that programmed it

[PeterPrinciple]

AI reminds me of the kid at the hardware store. You get an answer but they don’t know anything.

NO SHAT, SHERLOCK.

A VARIATION OF THE OLD, OLD...GI GO.

Who didn’t see that coming.

Google just needs to pull the plug on the public use of Gemini AI until they can fix the blatant biases of the system. Which may be hard to do given Google's corporate culture.
