Are you talking about the “Little monkey” comment by Howard Cosell?

And who can ever forget about how Jimmy, the Greek got fired by CBS for commenting that blacks were bred for sports, and that’s why they are better than white athletes!

That same line is now a Dave Chappell joke.

Go figure. :laughing:

Yes, but he’s black and he can say things like that and more and not receive too much backlash.

I also recall back in the late 80s O.J. Simpson had said something similar regarding black athletes and white athletes and nobody hardly blinked to the point where I can’t seem to find a reference to his comments easily.

LOL. You think that picture represents Scotland in 1820?

Or perhaps the AI was trained using woke ideology?

Which is more likely?

That is amazing. Absolutely peak woke.

Google has temporarily halted the feature of its Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) that generates images of people. This decision comes in response to criticisms and concerns raised over inaccuracies and potential biases in the images produced by Gemini, particularly in historical contexts. Users and critics pointed out that Gemini was generating images that were not historically accurate, such as depicting people of color in scenes where they would not have been present, and potentially perpetuating stereotypes due to biases present in the AI’s training data[1].

The controversy intensified with specific examples, including the generation of racially diverse images in historically white-dominated scenes, leading to accusations of over-correcting for racial bias. This included generating images of racially diverse Nazis and other historical inaccuracies, which sparked significant backlash on social media and among certain communities[7]. Google acknowledged these issues, stating that while the intention behind Gemini’s diverse outputs was positive, the execution “missed the mark” in certain historical depictions[7].

In response to these criticisms, Google has committed to improving Gemini’s image generation capabilities to ensure more accurate and sensitive portrayals of individuals across different races, genders, and historical contexts. The company emphasized the importance of accurately representing global diversity and is working on refining the AI’s algorithms to reduce skewed outputs or historical inaccuracies[1][4]. Google’s decision to pause and review Gemini’s people generation feature reflects a broader challenge in the AI field to mitigate bias and ensure ethical considerations are integrated into AI models.

This move by Google has sparked a broader debate about the challenges of mitigating bias in AI models and the ethical considerations of AI-generated content. It highlights the ongoing efforts by technology companies to navigate the complex interplay between innovation, representation, and social responsibility[1].

We are going to change the code so it continues to show black Scottish guys from 500 years ago. Just not black Nazis. Back online in a few days.

To be fair, there were some Nazis of color. Off the top of my head an Indian division.

EDIT: not quite a division. A few battalions

Is this on the test?

We’re not here to educate. Our role is to create activists.

Of course it should be on the test, but tests are tools of the white supremacist cisgender heteronormative patriarchy.

I used to debate whether my future kids would benefit more from being educated back home or in Taiwan. Not much to debate these days!
