Late on Tuesday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed the controversies surrounding its Gemini AI app in an email to staff, following a series of 'completely unacceptable' errors that sparked significant backlash, including right-wing criticism. The AI app faced criticism for generating inappropriate content, such as images of ethnically diverse World War II Nazi troops, leading to the temporary suspension of its image generation feature. This controversy, which also highlighted the AI's bias against people of color, has resulted in a notable financial impact, with Alphabet Inc.'s market value dropping by $110 billion. Pichai's response indicates a commitment to addressing these biases and restoring user trust in Google's AI technologies.

Gemini AI doesn't just have a "woke" problem. It's also engaged in making harmful, (libelous/defamatory) statements about people like myself, who challenge a status quo narrative. Should this not be of concern to @GoogleAI? In my case, Gemini falsely asserts that I have ties to… https://t.co/zNQ0wwRspL
A lot of people are criticizing Google's Gemini AI - and I don't mean to dismiss those concerns But we should also give Google some credit: Google has laid bare for all to see the bias that (often more subtly) has permeated so many of the products coming out of Silicon Valley.

The language Sundar used shows that he is part of the problem. People are not “offended” by Gemini’s “bias”. Gemini lacks basic common sense and human decency. Google has been hijacked by an activist minority. The product is a reflection of the company – rotten inside out.
