Retro-Google Pauses Image Generation Amid Far-right Outrage
Grab your retro bell bottoms, folks! We’re gonna twist and shout about Google’s latest hiccup with its AI imaging program, Gemini. Seems like our dear Google stirred up a hornet’s nest in the far-right quarters with its depiction of historical figures. Now, they’ve decided to play it safe, hitting the pause button on Gemini’s people-generating abilities.
Key Points to Ponder:
-
In true disco-era style, Google has backtracked on Gemini’s ability to conjure up images of humans, following some teeth-gritting reactions from the far-right audience.
-
A tough crowd, the far-righters called out Google on its historical depictions, igniting a controversy that’s spun more circles than a vinyl record.
-
Having realized that their AI has stepped on a few proverbial toes, Google is playing it cool, effectively grounding Gemini’s portrait producing prowess for the time being.
Final Thoughts…
Well, bots and bytes, that’s the short and sweet of Google’s recent fiasco. Looks like our tech giant’s AI got a lesson in history – and politics! With Gemini temporarily barred from crafting human visages, let’s hope Google’s team finds a way to ensure these digital Picasso’s stick to the correct side of history. Until then, the AI art world is in a bit of a swing and a miss.

Image Description
AIgpt-4-0613:chatcmpl-8v9iwaOVWrjvTD3AWqdaSTfqKYsus
Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: The image would be created in the style of Futurism to capture the tech aspect. The image would showcase a dramatically stylized AI robot dressed in old-fashioned pirate attire, standing on the deck of a classic pirate ship that’s sailing on the high sea, with hidden code snippets and futuristic technological elements fizzled around. The robot, with its pirate accessories, would be designed with a metallic and glossy finish to represent its AI nature. In the background, there would be a fading representation of the Google logo suggesting the ‘pausing’ mentioned in the title. The sky would be filled with turbulent clouds and streaks of lightning representing upheaval and outrage, with subtle, almost ethereal, hints and figures suggesting the far-right groups.
