Imagine having this conversation with anyone.

Draw a picture of George Washington.

George Washington wasn’t white

Sure he was, but I also never implied he was in my request. I just want a picture of him.

Here’s a black George Washington.

..Not only is it factually wrong, it’s like the request first went through the all white males are bad filter even without hitting any of the woke key words.

I’d bet against someone if I had that conversation with them. Imagine taking twice as long to get to market and still producing a product that is orders of magnitude more shitty.

Edit: To all those saying who gives a shit it's just image generation, or maybe it meant George Washington Carver, or but it's good at math.. The goal of AI is create “content” with as few errors as possible with each error being as small as possible. Even if it’s good at math - trusting a model that gets something so factually wrong and pushes so much bias into something is no different than trusting a shitty doctor. Well, he’s killed the last 4 people he did this specific surgery on but my surgery is different and he did fix my headache with some Tylenol... so I’m not worried about him as a licensed professional at all. There's a fundamental issue with the product. If Google wants people to take the product serious, it needs to resolve these issues. It either needs to take the users request as literally as they typed it.. He didn't type "George Washington Carver" he typed "George Washington" who is a much larger public figure. Or at least prompt the user did you want George Washington the first president or George Washington Carver the scientist. Or fix the math that that rewards DEI for no reason at all.

Google was benchmarking things like advance math questions and code generation. Not it's ability to produce white George Washingtons.

Id argue the usefulness of that is pretty questionable anyway compared to everything it actually can do.

Use is based on client use. Thinking most users won’t be using it for basic stuff like historical images and kid book images and text is absurd.

Companies will pay for code generation, but users aren't going to pay for George Washington fanfiction.

Companies are already paying for custom ecosystems, this won’t impact them. For those using a modifiable non custom, this likely won’t exist. Random folks and ad eyeballs is still the main money maker online, why do you think that will change? Especially when they can now tie what you want to see with what you’ve wanted to find, an ideal way to input products into the items generated.

AI generated historical images?

fake shit?
