Google makes an effort to represent diversity in its Gemini generator images. Right-wing activists accuse him of erasing white people. A culture war has been declared.
Hear from Jean-Philippe Barrel-Girard, novelist, author and technology enthusiast, and discuss it with Patrick Lagasse.
Recall that Google launched the new version of its Gemini geneative AI at the beginning of this year. It is a competitor to ChatGPT allowing you to create texts and images from text, voice, video or visual commands.
“Once a new AI-related tool appears, users enjoy seeing how far we can push it over time,” says Jean-Philippe Barrel-Girard.
“There they started playing around with Gemini's image generator. I tried it, and it works well, and it's efficient, and it's really good in terms of technology. But they realized that when they asked for images, there was always a lot of cultural diversity. Well. And there, they start asking for drawings.” Illustrative historical photos or historical moments: For example, we ask for a photo of the Founding Fathers of the United States. There, we have a photo of the Founding Fathers, but there's a white person, an indigenous person, an Asian person, and a black person. Unfortunately, asking for historical illustration doesn't work “It is useful.”
