The launch of Google's new image generator didn't go over so well. The company's going to try again in a few weeks.
Google launched a new AI image generator earlier this month that, for all intents and purposes, was incapable of generating consistent images of white people. As you might expect, rightwing influencers wasted no time in noticing this issue and promptly accused the tech giant of reverse racism. After temporarily disabling the image generator’s capabilities last week, Google now says that it will take another stab at launching the app soon. “We have taken the feature offline while we fix that.
Indeed, I logged onto the app last week and attempted to recreate the disparities that right-wingers were whining about. It soon became apparent that it was incredibly easy to use Gemini to generate an image of someone who was ethnically “diverse,” but that it was almost impossible to get the bot to consistently create a picture of a “white person.” For instance, when I asked Gemini to depict people of Ethiopian descent, it had no problem doing so.
