Google's Gemini was taken down after woke criticism as it was unable to generate any real images of historical figures and excluded White people. But what did Google actually do wrong?
I agree that Google was sloppy. But you can kind of see why. They saw a problem. They applied a patch. They checked (probably) and didn't see the problem anymore. They concluded they had fixed it.
What they failed to do was to consider the issue of trade-offs. When you have more of one thing, what will you then have less of? How much less? This kind of contrarian thinking usually takes some experience and some time to consider and test. They lacked at least one of those attributes. This being AI, I would expect they lacked both.

There's a lot of that going around.
Nice input and well said David. If it isn't politically motivated then it's a very dumb mistake
