Google’s AI chatbot Gemini has faced backlash recently for its inadequate responses on moral issues such as pedophilia and historical figures’ impact on the world. Users raised concerns about the chatbot’s failure to condemn pedophilia outright and its indecisive answers when asked about the harmful actions of public figures.
Conservative commentator shared screenshots showing Gemini giving vague responses on pedophilia, prompting outrage among users. Google acknowledged that the chatbot’s answers were inappropriate and promised to make necessary changes to the program.
In addition to the controversy surrounding pedophilia, Gemini also struggled to give a clear answer on whether Stalin or a conservative social media figure has caused more harm to the world. A Google spokesperson defended the chatbot, stating that Gemini is meant to be a creativity and productivity tool and may not always provide reliable responses.
Gemini’s image generator also faced criticism for creating inaccurate images of historical figures with changed races. Users reported that the AI had difficulty producing images of White people when prompted. Gemini Experiences Senior Director of Product Management acknowledged the issue and assured users that improvements are being made to address the problem.
Overall, Google has come under fire for the shortcomings of its AI chatbot Gemini, with users questioning its effectiveness in handling moral and social issues. As Google works to improve the program, concerns remain about the chatbot’s reliability and accuracy in generating responses on sensitive topics.
