In recent hours, Google has had to face a major challenge due to the generation of images using its AI. Twins.
All after the generator placed images of WWII German soldiers and Vikings as people of color.
The technology company said it would stop creating images of people using the Gemini model after social media users posted examples of images created with the tool that depict some historical figures, including Popes and the Founding Fathers of the United States, owned by to different ethnic groups and genders.

“The historical context is more nuanced, and we will adjust it to take that into account,” he said.
We are aware that Gemini has inaccuracies in some historical images and we are working to correct this immediately.
