changingwords··on Google CEO calls Gemini completely unacceptable, vows to make structural changes
That doesn't work well in America, maybe works well in less diverse places like Europe/Asia.

If you're in NYC/SF and you search for "generate photos of doctors", you expect to see people of all colors represented. Yet the training data for a lot of this is based off white-centric Anglo-centric media.

"Good restaurant near me"? There's literally a dozen amazing cuisines around.

All this said, I'm actually not a fan of this forced 'diversity' in results. Just show me the data and hope that we'll have more diverse data sources.

You're right. There's just a very loud minority of woke fools who are actively tanking a lot of the best companies. And a good chunk of them are not actually looking for solutions, they just like that they have a problem which fits their 'expertise'.

The "anti-racist" manifesto is likely the reason for a lot of this garbage where it's not just enough to report on a racist world, but you also have to modify things to fit a not-racist world.

That's what gave us a black Cleopatra irl and this is what's giving us AI imaggen of diverse Nazis in WW2.
