Vivek Ramaswamy slams Gemini: Globally embarrassing rollout, blatantly racist

US presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy criticized Google's latest AI release, Gemini, calling it a "global embarrassment". He referred to the chatbot's text-to-image generation feature, which faced backlash due to inaccuracies in historical image depictions. Ramaswamy dubbed the chatbot as "blatantly racist" and blamed Google for creating a biased environment. Previously, Elon Musk also criticized Gemini's AI capabilities. In response, Google paused image generation for Gemini, acknowledging the issues and promising to re-release an improved version. The controversy centered around the chatbot's failure to acknowledge the existence of white people in certain image requests.
