This is the best summary I could come up with:
Google says it will fix Gemini, its answer to OpenAI's GPT-4, after people complained the multi-modal AI model's image-generating feature was "woke."
On Thursday, the company said in a statement sent to Business Insider that it was pausing Gemini from generating AI images of people while it makes the changes.
Social media users have complained that Gemini was producing images of people of color in historically inaccurate contexts.
Others on X complained that Gemini had gone "woke," citing instances where prompts regularly resulted in responses including the word "diverse."
The spokesperson highlighted the importance of generating images representing a diverse range of people, given Gemini's global user base, but admitted that it's "missing the mark here."
In further comments released on Thursday, provided to BI by email, a Google spokesperson said Gemini would temporarily pause the feature that generates images of people while the changes are made.
