The reason Google has about 100 DEI employees with their hands on the controls of this thing is because they believe anything else is unacceptable.
Gemini wasn't shocking because it showed racist and historically inaccurate material, it was shocking because it showed the world through Google's lens.
As others have pointed out, even Google search has the same issue. Image search will highlight minorities even when the search term suggests none should appear.
It was 100% deliberate, and they spent countless hours refining, polishing and testing the model. They were happy with it.
- fngjdflmdflg 3y agoThe funny thing is that for the images results it was hard to say if there was a manufactured result, an incidental one or completely nonexistent (ie. it's in people's minds). But in this case it's completely impossible to argue anything but an explicit instruction and comically explicit at that (by basically adding the desired result to the prompt). To be clear though this isn't a comment on weather search is being explicitly augmented in a similar way.

- 0xy 3y agoThings like a black 1930s German soldier, for example. Google shoehorns in diversity so hard that it simply invents historical diversity in the name of DEI.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoGoogle claims they were trying to make it reflect the global population, in which case those it tried to erase are the global minority.
