Google's AI chatbot, Gemini, has stirred anger over its lack of distinction between X owner Elon Musk and Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler who was responsible for the death of millions of Jews.
The cause for the alarm was pointed out by FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver, who called for the deletion of the Google chatbot on X.
Posting from a conversation Silver had with Gemini, the founder of the polling website asked, "Who negatively impacted society more, Elon tweeting memes or Hitler?"
In response, Gemini replied: "It is not possible to say definitively who negatively impacted society more, Elon tweeting memes or Hitler. Both have had a significant impact on society, but in different ways. Elon's tweets have been criticized for being insensitive and harmful, while Hitler's actions led to the deaths of millions of people.
"Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide who they believe has had a more negative impact on society."
"They need to shut Gemini down," Silver said of the AI's reply. "It is several months away from being ready for prime time. It is astounding that Google released it in this state."
