Gemini AI exposes the progressive playbook

By now, most of you have probably seen the preposterous images generated by Google’s new AI conversation app, Gemini. Admitting to ‘missing the mark’, Google has withdrawn the image generator for tweaking, but not before the bot revealed an aversion to white people that was plainly cultivated by its overlords. Users discovered it was nearly impossible to prompt Gemini to produce pictures of ethnic Europeans, especially white men. Douglas Murray is right to object that the word is misused, but then I can misuse it, too. This is digital genocide!

Those hilarious AI images have caught the sanctimonious social engineers with their pants down

I haven’t had such a good laugh in ages. Ask for pics of Vikings, get ferocious black Vikings – and ferocious black female warriors, since those rapists and pillagers were famously intent on closing the gender pay gap. Ask for pics of a pope, get a black pope or a black female pope.
