Given the shenanigans google has been playing with its AI, I'm surprised it gives any accurate replies at all.
I am sure you have all seen the guy asking for a photo of a Scottish family, and Gemini's response.
Well here is someone tricking gemini into revealing its prompt process.
It's going to take real work to train models that don't just reflect our own biases but this seems like a really sloppy and ineffective way to go about it.
I agree, it will take a lot of work, and I am all for balance where an AI prompt is ambiguous and doesn't specify anything in particular. The output could be male/female/Asian/whatever. This is where AI needs to be diverse, and not stereotypical.
But if your prompt is to "depict a male king of the UK", there should be no ambiguity to the result of that response. The sheer ignorance in googles approach to blatantly ignore/override all historical data (presumably that the AI has been trained on) is just agenda pushing, and of little help to anyone. AI is supposed to be helpful, not a bouncer and must not have the ability to override the users personal choices (other than being outside the law).
Its has a long way to go, before it has proper practical use.
