Summary

In early 2024, Google's Gemini image generation model produced racially inaccurate and historically inconsistent images, such as non-White figures in Nazi-era contexts. The source attributes the failure to a "diversity injection" mechanism meant to counter data bias, which lacked contextual safeguards. The backlash reportedly cost Google $90 billion in market value.
