Brin’s “We definitely messed up.”, at an AI “hackathon” event on 2 March, followed a slew of social media posts showing Gemini’s image generation tool depicting a variety of historical figures – including popes, founding fathers of the US and, most excruciatingly, German second world war soldiers – as people of colour.

Asserting an particular behavior exists within a certain group, without evidence, and then asserting why that behavior exists, again without evidence, as support of an argument that the recently extracted from a colon comments don’t actually relate to or prove?
Yeah, pretty fucking bold.
