Woke Embarrassment: Google’s Botched Gemini AI Launch Erases $90 Billion in Stock Value
Breitbart ^ | 02/27/2024 | LUCAS NOLAN

Google’s market value plunged by $90 billion on Monday amid controversies surrounding its new generative AI service Gemini. The ultra-woke AI became instantly famous for erasing white people from history, facing widespread mockery for not only its wildly inaccurate images, but also defending pedophilia and Joseph Stalin.

Forbes reports that Alphabet stock fell 4.5 percent on Monday to close at $138.75, its lowest price since early January. The selloff came as the company grappled with backlash over accuracy and bias issues with its nascent generative AI service, Gemini.

Gemini, which features an AI chatbot and image generator, inaccurately depicted historical figures by erasing white people from history over the weekend. This led Google to apologize and take its image service offline temporarily to reassess its quality controls. The chatbot also drew fire for refusing to condemn Adolf Hitler as more negatively impactful than businessman Elon Musk, and refusing to say if Libs of TikTok or Joseph Stalin was worse for humanity. The AI system even defended pedophilia.

They will tweak this monstrous tech and it will propagate lies that become perceived truth. This is just a speed bump. Orwell wasn’t even close.

“Google’s market value plunged by $90 billion on Monday amid controversies surrounding its new generative AI service Gemini.”

Only thing better than see a woke attempt crash and burn is seeing it take 90 billion woke dollars with it.

X/Twitter’s Grok and Gab ai are where you want to be, as a casual user.

Google will not win this one.

Looks like they created an astonishingly accurate facsimile of a crazed Leftist.

IMHO--

For a tool such as AI, if you tinker with it during development to produce a predetermined or biased result, rather than analyzing factual data and letting the result produce itself, you will fail.

26,000 illegal but very capable computer geek Chinese, sitting on their own property IN the USA, constituting a de-facto Chinese nation unto itself, with a super computer and we can kiss OUR America good bye.

I'm not worried about an army of military aged males, One computer, One computer geek and One floating balloon satellite and . . . . .

Did anyone think to get an image of 1930’s Germans? That would have been fun to have as ‘proof’ that black people, queers, and Asians were actually running Nazi Germany.

Sure, but if you do an online search about the fiasco, it will never have happened.

I would speculate further that this is an attempt by a Google executive to upload his essence onto the Cloud, in a bid for immortality.

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...”
