Google recently apologised for Gemini, its multimodal large language models (LLM), fo its “inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions”. It says that its attempt at creating a “wide range” of results had been completely off the mark; one such search of Nazi-era German soldier leading to it including AI generated images of people of colour wearing the uniforms of said soldiers in uniforms befitting that era.
“We’re aware that Gemini is offering inaccuracies in some historical image generation depictions,” says the Google statement, posted this afternoon on X. “We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately. Gemini’s AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that’s generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it’s missing the mark here.
