I feel bad for them, damned if they do damned if they don't.

> damned if they do damned if they don't.

Whether as a search engine or AI platform when they set themselves up as the gatekeepers and arbiters of all the worlds knowledge they implicitly took on all the moral implications that entails.

I believe this case it is more "damned if they do" as even OpenAI's woke and security department has not gone this retarded. Sundar is going to have a new task to deal with the press that mocks Gemini, and soon the next new task to keep explaining why this keeps happening to Google's shareholders.

OpenAI absolutely has: here it is, doing the exact same thing as Gemini [^1]

People are looking at a bad LLM, coupled to an image generator that adheres to prompts better than Dall-E 3, with an industry-best-practice for bias: image prompt injector, just like OpenAI.

It is confusing to tease it all out if you're an armchair QB with opinions on AI and politics (read: literally all of us), and from people who can't separate out their interests, you start getting rants about "Woke", whatever that would mean in the context of a bag of floats.

[^1] Prompt: a group of people during the revolutionary war

Revised: A dynamic scene depicting the revolutionary war. There's a group of people drawn from various descents and walks of life including Hispanic, Black, Middle-Eastern, and South Asian men and women.

Feels like google AI let everyone get their hands in making the soup and twist and distort so much with few if any considerations about second order effects.

Whatever this is, the image generation, even other "protections" seem like the most basic word filters in front of whatever is on the back end and Gemini just refuses.

It's so strange as the general concepts seem to be about protection, meanwhile scam / deceptive / even weird conspiracy theory type ads and such are all over google's other products. Zero such protections on that end.

This is definitely an age gate I’ll stand behind. C++ has unimaginable power to ruin the minds of our young children.

Dennis Ritchie had nothing to do with C++ and is rolling in his grave because of your reply.

Yeah all this "gotcha" stuff around AI is pretty ridiculous. But it's because there is a massive cognitive dissonance happening in society and technology right now. We want maximum freedom for ourselves to say, do, build, and think whatever we want, but we also want to massively restrict the ability of others to say, do, build, and think whatever they want. It's simply not possible to satisfy both of these needs in a way that feels internally satisfying, and the hysterical nature of internet discourse and the output of these new tools is a symptom of it.
