Should there be some mention of its diversity issues

edit

I'm hesitant to edit to add this since I'm pretty sure it will get reverted but shouldn't there be some sort of mention of refusal to generate images of white males and generating intentionally historically inacurrate images. It has been mentioned by reliable sources like the BBC and New York Post. I think the coverage of it alongside the tweets about it with 100k+ likes should be enough to show that it is relevant to the article. Qwexcxewq (talk) 04:00, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's already at Gemini (chatbot)#Reception. This has to do with the chatbot (the artist formerly known as Bard) specifically, not the language model. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

"Racism" in the "criticism" section

edit

Regardless of the factual validity of the issue mentioned above (or the balance in the way that it's presented, since from what I could read online, the criticism was as much because of "Black Nazis" as it was due to some "White erasure"), implying that it equates to "racism" is representative of a minority POV that is controversial and not supported by much of the current consensus on racial research, as seen on the Reverse racism page. "Anti-white racism" or "reverse racism" is, in fact, not some widely accepted, self-evident concept, and attempting to introduce it here is, at best, factually dubious, and parroting fringe reactionary propaganda in any case. Hence, I've taken the liberty of removing the "racist" adjective.

Additionally, unlike what the above poster claims, the New York post is, in fact, not a "reliable" source for political matters (as per the perennial sources list) - and obviously, neither Elon Musk nor Jordan Peterson count as such either. 90.92.45.140 (talk) 22:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Any content about this incident does not belong on this article and should be moved to Gemini (chatbot). This is like putting information about the iPhone's camera on the article for iOS. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:33, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
All right, thanks for correcting it, and I'm sorry that I didn't do so myself. Even after I read your response above, I somehow didn't pay attention to it - I should've been more conscious of what part of Gemini this actually belonged to. 90.92.45.140 (talk) 14:38, 26 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
