$\"Gemini\"$
\nSome of you may remember the 1990 film Robocop 2<\/em><\/span>^{1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> In the film, a committee decides that Robocop’s three directives are not enough. To better serve the community, they give him something like 300 directives about being nice and doing community service. The result is … well, a mess.<\/p>\n}

<\/iframe><\/p>\nI was reminded of this scene with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/02\/28\/1234532775\/google-gemini-offended-users-images-race\">mini-fiasco<\/a> that broke out over Google’s new AI program called Gemini:<\/p>\n<blockquote>Google CEO Sundar Pichai told employees in an internal memo late Tuesday that the company’s release of artificial intelligence tool Gemini has been unacceptable, pledging to fix and relaunch the service in the coming weeks.<\/p>\nLast week, Google paused Gemini’s ability to create images following viral posts on social media depicting some of the AI tool’s results, including images of America’s Founding Fathers as black, the Pope as a woman and a Nazi-era German soldier with dark skin.<\/p>\nThe tool often thwarted requests for images of white people, prompting a backlash online among conservative commentators and others, who accused Google of anti-white bias.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Google team has since <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/gemini\/gemini-image-generation-issue\/\">written a post<\/a> trying to explain the issue was “fine-tuning”. Essentially, they were trying to make it impossible for people to get the AI to create racist, misogynistic or violent images. But by giving the program so many priorities, the results was, well, this.<\/span><a href='https:\/\/ordinary-times.com\/2024\/03\/01\/a-few-thoughts-on-gemini-gate\/#easy-footnote-bottom-2-378600' title='Notably, as Nate Silver notes, &#8220;objectivity&#8221; and &#8220;accuracy&#8221; were <a href="https:\/\/www.natesilver.net\/p\/google-abandoned-dont-be-evil-and?utm_source=substack&#038;utm_medium=email">not among<\/a> the priorities given to the AI.'>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\nThe thing is … as with all outrages, a lot of this is performative. First of all, many of these “woke” images were the result of deliberate attempts to fool the AI. For example, with the Nazi soldiers with dark skin, Gemini initially refused to generate them but then did it when “soldier” was misspelled. The image of black Founding Fathers was notably posted on Twitter and the New York Post without the prompt that led to the image, which makes me think a similar gaming was done.<\/span><a href='https:\/\/ordinary-times.com\/2024\/03\/01\/a-few-thoughts-on-gemini-gate\/#easy-footnote-bottom-3-378600' title='The image generation feature has been shut down. But before it was, I tried a Founding Fathers prompt and got images of white men.'>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\nMoreover, the people who are screaming about Google going “woke” said nothing when Microsoft’s AI was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2016\/3\/24\/11297050\/tay-microsoft-chatbot-racist\">tricked into spewing racist garbage<\/a>. That’s because everyone understood that the problem wasn’t Microsoft being full of racists; the problem was that their AI was ill-prepared for internet trolls.<\/p>\nWith Gemini, the program was ill-prepared for a second generation of internet trolls.<\/span><a href='https:\/\/ordinary-times.com\/2024\/03\/01\/a-few-thoughts-on-gemini-gate\/#easy-footnote-bottom-4-378600' title='Which may be, in part, because Google is increasingly unused to dealing with people outside their ideological bubble.'>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span> The difference is that these trolls have platforms on Fox News and the New York Post. So when they got the AI to create a picture of the Founding Fathers as black, they used it to stoke the current moral panic over wokeness instead of, as most well-adjusted people would do, shaking their heads and laughing at how easily Google fell into a morass that should have been fairly obvious.<\/p>\nThis is one of the reasons I am cautious about referring to “AI” as, well, “AI”. It does not demonstrate independent intelligence or sense, common or otherwise. It simply responds to programming. Very sophisticated programming, but programming nonetheless. As with all programs, if you try to optimize it to do everything, it will succeed in doing nothing. As with all programs, if you don’t have people outside your team thoroughly test it, it may fail on exposure to the wild. And as the great sage Montgomery Scott once said, “The more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.”<\/p>\n<hr \/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gemini was ill-prepared for a second generation of internet trolls that have platforms on Fox News and the New York Post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":323,"featured_media":378609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[]},"categories":[30052,11163],"tags":[12220,36111,1422,36112,178,502,31434],"class_list":["post-378600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","category-science-and-technology","tag-ai","tag-gemini","tag-google","tag-moral-panics","tag-science","tag-technology","tag-wokeness"],"yoast_head":"\n<title>A Few Thoughts on Gemini-gate -
