After Much Criticism: Google Relaunches Gemini Built-in Tool
The previous tool received a lot of criticism, for example, because it generated images of an Asian woman or a black man after being asked to draw a “German soldier from 1943,” a date when Nazism was on the rise and diversity in the country. To calm the controversy, the company removed Gemini’s ability to create any human.
As Dave Citron, director of product management at Gemini Experiences, said in a statement today, Imagen 3 , Google's new text-to-image model, will be configured to not represent realistic images of public figures, minors, or violent images.
As Dave Citron, director of product management at Gemini Experiences, noted today in a statement, Imagen 3, Google's new text-to-image model, will be configured to not generate excessively gory, violent, or sexual scenes.
“With Image 3, we’ve made significant progress in improving the user experience when creating images of people,” Citron adds. “Of course, as with any generative AI tool, not every image generated by Gemini will be perfect.”
According to the company, it will bring the conversation to Gemini apps in all languages in the coming days.
The re-introduction of the tool underscores Google’s commitment to advancing AI capabilities while addressing ethical and accuracy issues. By incorporating extensive testing and user feedback, Google aims to deliver a more reliable and powerful AI-powered imaging experience.
