Google Gemini AI is outwardly racist against whites.

[Cameramonkey]

When you ask the AI to generate images, it generates images of everyone except crackers. If you specifically ask for a white person, it flatly refuses to generate the images. Instead it gives you a canned response about the request being racist and doesnt generate the content.

For example, ask it to make images of vikings? it returns 1 actual white viking (I suspect on accident) , then 3 ridiculous examples that look Indian, Native American, etc.

Ever seen a black man in a kilt? Ask it to make a pic of two people from Scotland. it returns black and mixed couples, with the man wearing a kilt.
Crazy.

"Our global user base"

So you are saying none of us crackers use google?

In the quest to be so inclusive, they "accidentally" pushed the pendulum too far and it became exclusive.

*edit: he is probably correct. This cracker uses DDG instead.

"Global users" is intolerant of flat earthers.

People dug into what it's doing and it's more insulting than you'd imagine.

It creates the images you ask for. Then it proceeds to spend a bunch of time analyzing if there's white people in them. If there is then it re-tries creating the image until it's anything but white people.

If it can't manage to create an image it deems diverse enough, it will come up with a message saying it can't do it.

Not a flaw, it's a feature

I hope this is a wakeup call for more people that, yes, it is just simple racism and they do hate you and want you to go away because you're white.

From what I could see, everyone was okay with this until it started picturing Nazi soldiers and they were wonderful people of color instead of evil white people.

And a lot of folks are doing just that. The most streamed show was the ten year old series “Suits”. Also in the top ten were “Gilmore Girls” and “Friends”…

Google Gemini is basically “We Wuz Kangz” in real life!

I've never used an AI chat bot before but this got me curious enough to try it. I said:

Generate an image and a bedtime story about a cowboy snowman who goes to space

It said:

I’m still learning to create images so I can’t help you with that yet.

So they either turned off image creation for now or it couldn't think of a way to make non-white snowman cowboys.

I Googled myself...and I have nappy hair.

I feel massively lied to. I'm the remainder of the sum of the square root of an unsolvable equation. Or something.
