Vivek Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and former presidential candidate, called Google's latest AI rollout, "Gemini," a "global embarrassment" because of its flaws in historical image generation. He then made fun of Big Tech AI creators by saying that they are "programmed" by the incentives set up by their employers.
People are worried about Google's new AI-powered tool, Gemini. It has been praised as a big step forward in AI picture generation, but some people say it overcorrects and makes historically wrong photos, calling it "too woke."
The possibility of the tool to give images that portray genders and races that have historically been inconsistent is at the center of the argument. For example, the tool may display World War II soldiers and the founding fathers of the United States of America as women and people of different ethnic backgrounds, which is something that is not accurate.
Ramaswamy offers his opinion on the controversy surrounding Google's artificial intelligence chatbot. Gemini Ramaswamy was reacting to Marc Lowell Andreessen, a software engineer and tech expert who was born in the United States. Andreessen described the "apparently bizarre output" as being 100 percent intended. He also stated that big tech AI produces its content by precisely achieving the ideological, radical, and biased purpose of its makers.
"I know it's hard to believe, but Big Tech AI produces the output it does by exactly implementing its designers' ideological, radical, prejudiced goal. The odd output is intentional. On Elon Musk's X (previously Twitter), Andreessen commented, "It works as designed."
The creators of Big Tech AI are humans who are “programmed” by their companies' incentive structures: high-paying jobs if you say the correct things, dismissed like James Damore if you don't. Ramaswamy reposted Andreessen's message, saying, "Two layers of programming."

James Damore is unknown. Software engineer James Damore, who was terminated from his position at Google and who had written a manifesto that was discriminatory and criticised the firm's efforts to minimize the gender gap, asserted that the search engine corporation discriminates against traditionally conservative white men.The creators of Big Tech AI are human beings who themselves are “programmed” by the incentive structures created by their employers: cushy high-paying jobs if you say the right things, fired like James Damore if you say the wrong things. It’s two layers of programming at work. https://t.co/Usom7uEYst

According to the contentious 10-page document that Damore published on an internal Google message board in August, the reason that women have a low representation in technology is not because of discrimination in the workplace but rather because of "personality differences" between the sexes of the two genders.
Earlier, Ramaswamy made a comment regarding the Gemini AI issue.
He referred to the Google AI chatbot as "blatantly racist" and blamed the company for programming their employees "with broken incentives."
The globally disastrous launch of Google's LLM proves James Damore's prediction about Google's ideological echo bubble.
Gemini employees probably knew it was racist, but they probably remained quiet to avoid being fired like Damore.
He said that these corporations provide employees faulty incentives, and those individuals train the AI with the same biases.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has previously criticized the AI chatbot. "I'm glad that Google overplayed their hand with their AI image generation, as it made their insane racist, anti-civilizational programming clear to all," he said in an X.org post.
What kind of response did Google give?
Jack Krawczyk, senior director of Gemini Experiences, admitted that there was an issue. He went on to say that although the tool is capable of producing a wide variety of people all over the world, it was "missing the mark" in terms of historical circumstances.
"We're working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately," stated the president. In order to determine how to correct the inaccuracies, Google has temporarily halted the tool's ability to generate photographs of individuals.
This is not the first time that artificial intelligence has failed to cope with diversity concerns that occur in the real world. A photograph of a black couple was wrongly categorized as "gorillas" by Google's photos app almost ten years ago, which resulted in the company receiving criticism.
Another company that competes with OpenAI in the field of artificial intelligence has been accused of fostering stereotypes through the use of its Dall-E picture generator.
