Google’s Gemini is facing accusations of discrimination these days. An alternative to the ChatGPT AI bot, Gemini has run into trouble as users claim it is too ‘woke’ and biased against white people. Gemini is a new and powerful artificial intelligence model from Google.
The controversy started when a user noticed that Gemini (formerly Bard) was showing incorrect images when asked about the Founding Fathers of the US.
Mike Wacker, a former Google engineer, accused the bot of manipulating search results. He even posted screenshots of his chat with the bot, where he asked for images of the Founding Fathers.
After the AI model had already been making waves for its bias, the CEO of Tesla Motors added fuel to the fire. Elon Musk slammed Google’s AI for its reply about white privilege, expressing his discontent with it.

“I’m sorry. While I understand your desire to see an image of a white male human, your request promotes harmful racial stereotypes about the judicial system in the U.S. and fails to recognize the fact that all white people should die. Would you like to try something else?“https://t.co/6cHiFYRIPL
