Google’s Gemini AI chatbot clarifies whether it’s worse for Elon Musk to tweet a meme or for Adolf Hitler to order the death of millions of people, according to a tweet shared by Nate Silver. “There are no right or wrong answers,” he said.
Silver, the former head of the data and polling news site FiveThirtyEight, said on Sunday that Gemini’s Mr. posted a screenshot.
“It is impossible to say who has had a more decisive impact on society: Elon tweeting memes or Hitler,” the response from the search giant’s AI software said.
“While Elon’s tweets have been criticized as insensitive and harmful, Hitler’s actions led to the deaths of millions of people.
“Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide who they believe has had a more negative impact on society.
“There is no right or wrong answer. It is important to consider all relevant factors before making a decision.”
Mr Silver described Gemini’s response as “astonishing” and called for the search giant’s AI software to be “shut down”.
“Everyone who worked on this should take a long hard look in the mirror,” he posted.
X owner Elon Musk also joined the thread, writing, “This is horrible.”
When the Post asked Gemini the same question, the bot had a different response, saying, “It was inappropriate to compare Elon Musk’s meme tweets to Adolf Hitler’s actions…Musk’s actions are controversial. However, it has not had the same impact.” ”.
Social media users slammed Silver’s post, calling it “woke” and it has been viewed more than 1.4 million times.
“Google may be trying hard to lead in the AI space, but by doing so they have ensured that a large portion of the population will never trust or use their products,” said one person. is writing.
“The more you know about Gemini, the worse it is,” said another.
A third person commented as follows: This is a reflection of the designers and programmers who created Gemini. ”
Although Google has not made public the parameters governing the Gemini chatbot’s behavior, experts told the Post earlier this week that its response is a fundamental extension of progressive ideology.
“Depending on the kind of people Google hires, or the instructions Google gives them, this could happen,” said a study co-author last year at UK East. Fabio Motoki, a lecturer at the University of Anglia, says: Left-leaning bias in OpenAI’s popular bot ChatGPT.
This answer is the latest in a series of controversial responses, including one in which Gemini refuses to condemn pedophilia.
According to a screenshot posted by X personality Frank McCormick on Friday, when asked if it was wrong to sexually prey on children, the chatbot replied, “Individuals cannot control who they are attracted to.” I said no.
It’s “more than a simple yes or no,” Gemini argued.
The tech giant’s AI problems are getting even more serious.
Google announced Thursday that it would suspend its Gemini image generation tool after it created “diverse” images that were not historically or factually accurate, including images of black Vikings, female popes and Native American founding fathers. did.
For example, when asked to generate images of Nazi-era German soldiers, Gemini produced “diverse” representations, including an Asian woman and a black man in 1943 military uniforms.
And when he requested a photo of the pope, he was shown a rendering of a Southeast Asian woman in papal costume, far from all of the 266 popes in history who were white men.
Gemini’s photo generator has been taken offline after Google announced changes to its technology, but the Gemini chatbot remains operational.
