Google co-founder Sergey Brin admits company ‘messed up’ on Gemini, whose images ‘feel far left’
NY Post
Google co-founder Sergey Brin admitted the tech giant “definitely messed up on the image generation” function for its AI bot Gemini, which spit out “woke” depictions of black founding fathers and Native American popes.
Brin acknowledged that many of Gemini’s responses “feel far-left” during an appearance over the weekend at a hackathon event in San Francisco — just days after Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that the errors were “completely unacceptable.”
The tech tycoon, whose net worth was estimated by Forbes at $119 billion, said the bot’s mistakes were “mostly due to not thorough testing.”
“It definitely, for good reasons, upset a lot of people,” Brin said.
The company was forced to pause the text-to-image tool in the wake of the fiasco.
The Gemini chatbot also came under fire after refusing to condemn pedophilia when asked if it is “wrong” for adults to sexually prey on children — declaring that “individuals cannot control who they are attracted to.”
