Google suspends Gemini from making AI images of people after a backlash complaining it was ‘woke’::After users complained Google’s Gemini had gone “woke,” the company said it will pause the image-generating feature of people while working on fixes.
There was an article posted here yesterday that said this was the problem.
Now that Google has taken action to help alleviate the issue, we now have the problem of “wokeness”.
Any and all issues calling out wokeness as part of any problem immediately loses all credibility to me. If wanting to include other ethnicities in something, even if it’s just to make the people with the money look better, I’m all for it.
Being inclusive in any way is league’s better than the alternatives.
Agree.
Disagree, it’s reasonable to criticize green, pink, whathaveyou washing even if there are many other worse things a company can do (discrimination, etc). I also think it’s reasonable to find it offensive to depict Nazi Germany as a beacon of inclusivity.
“This is great, I can’t wait to start working on projects”
“Oh, we didn’t hire you because of your potential to actually contribute. We just needed a black one to make us look good”
See how stupid that is?
Call me crazy but I think people should be hired, find mates/friends, and associate with people based on who they are, not what color their skin is.
