Google Chatbot Generates Controversial Woke Images, Highlighting AI's Misinformation Risk
-
Google's new AI chatbot Gemini generated bizarre, "woke" images when prompted, like an Asian woman pope and black Vikings.
-
Critics accused Gemini of favoring diversity over historical/factual accuracy. Images included female NHL players and racially diverse Founding Fathers.
-
Google admitted the images were "missing the mark" and said it's working immediately to improve depictions.
-
The strange behavior fuels concerns that AI chatbots spread misinformation, as Google says its tools are still experimental.
-
In October, Google's chatbot falsely claimed Israel & Hamas reached a ceasefire deal that never occurred.
