The problem: Google’s Gemini AI program produced historically inaccurate images.

So Google is hitting the pause button on Gemini AI after being accused of publishing “diverse” images that are historically about as accurate as a $3 bill (“Great Google-y moogly!”2 (Monday 22nd).

Black Vikings, a High Priestess, and a Native American chilling out with the Founding Fathers: Seriously?

Gemini awakens to the absurd and tries to become a representative of useless technology. And now social media is abuzz with people shaking their heads at these revisionist photos.

In a world where truth should matter, it’s disturbing to see technology rapidly playing around with facts. We should not bend over backwards because of trends in political correctness.

Let’s hope Google makes a hard turn to address this mess before releasing an “improved” version. We need an AI that respects history, not an AI that bows to the woke crowd.

“Garbage in, garbage out” is a truism best attributed to Google’s recent AI problems. When prompts for Gemini show images of Vikings and President George Washington as black people, and when the Pope is depicted as a woman.

Google says its AI program “aims to create a more accurate and comprehensive representation of the historical context of the time.”

It’s no surprise that wokeism has crept into Google’s AI programs. It appears that the Gemini model was programmed with revisionist and politically correct historical figures to be more inclusive.

Unfortunately, it’s a pathetic sign of the times.

I think 75% to 80% of all the registered Democrats who saw that photo were very happy to see that George Washington was clearly black. I bet they never knew.

What’s all the fuss about? Google’s Gemini is doing exactly what it was programmed to do.

When asked to name white supremacists, the names of Larry Elder, Sen. Tim Scott, and attorney Leo Terrell came up.

At issue: President Biden’s plan to forgive up to $1.2 billion in federal student loans.

The Post article was spot on (“Student-Debt Racket,” James Bovard, PostOpinion, February 23).

Uncle Joe continues to funnel that money to buy votes as President Biden rejects the Supreme Court’s ruling that student debt forgiveness is illegal. The Democratic Party is very afraid of certain defeat this November.

Let me tell you, Uncle Joe, I recently had to put a roof on my house, and it’s hurting me financially, so please help me pay for it. I’ll give it to you. And I vote for you too.

This is Biden’s classic “pay to play” motto.

In an obviously shameless method of buying votes from young people while abusing American taxpayers, the Biden administration is canceling $1.2 billion in debt and reinstating the student loan forgiveness program.

I would like to make a proposal to former President Donald Trump’s campaign. Instead of trying to run against Biden with a sweepstakes that insults hard-working Americans who actually paid off their student loans, Trump should campaign on a promise to allow for the withdrawal of retirement benefits without penalty. account.

It will be seen as a sign of unity and a lifeline between President Trump and the beleaguered middle class.
