Artificial Unintelligence: Is Google’s Gemini One Big Freudian Slip?

Black Nazis aren’t an accident; they’re the result of a company obsessed with race

Google’s new Gemini AI platform has become a problem for the left’s obsession with race—it’s saying the quiet part out loud. Well… not literally out loud, but if pictures are worth a thousand words the images that Gemini produces show a DEI dystopia.

As soon as Google launched Gemini’s image generation function, users noticed that prompts for historical figures resulted in black George Washingtons, black and female Popes, and even black and female Nazi soldiers. But then, when users specifically prompted the AI bot for historically accurate images of white people, Gemini scolded users, saying that such prompting “reinforces harmful stereotypes and generalizations about people based on their race.”

The company is in full retreat, apologizing for the issues. But let’s be real: This wasn’t a glitch, or an innocent case of an inanimate computer program failing to understand the complexities and historical context of race. It was the result of years of racial policies by the entire company—and, it appears, the result of race-obsessed nuttery by Gemini project lead Jack Krawcyzk. 

If you haven’t heard of Krawcyzk, take a look at his unhinged rants. He tried to hide the account, but users have screen-shotted Krawcyzk’s past tweets calling white people “a–holes” for not “recognizing bias” or “white privilege” and claims like “America, where racism is the #1 value.” And, no surprise, he also voted for Joe Biden in 2020.

And that is the real problem. Google has been at the forefront of the corporate DEI push to prioritize hiring decisions based on race, but racism hasn’t stopped in the private business sector. In academia, racial preferences in admissions have punished minority groups for simply belonging to the “wrong” race. Filings from the SFFA vs Harvard Supreme Court case presented data showing Harvard University admitted 56 percent of African-American applicants in the top academic decile, but only 12 percent of Asian-Americans with similar qualifications.

It’s also infected huge swaths of American culture and law, swallowing up the top politician in America. Joe Biden’s racial rhetoric was in the White House as vice president—”they’re going to put you all back in chains”; as a candidate—promising on the 2020 campaign trail to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court; and now in the White House, putting racial quotas ahead of national security.

But in Google’s woke exuberance—like Asian-American Harvard applicants—real people have been punished for the color of their skin. As the Gemini absurdities were coming to light, former Google employee Shaun Maguire posted on X that he wasn’t promoted as a white man because his boss had a quota. According to reports, not receiving the promotion cost Maguire a potential salary over $1 million a year.

The problem with Google and Gemini isn’t that a private company miscalculated a bit of computer code. In an apology, SVP of Knowledge and Information Prabhakar Raghavan admitted, “Our tuning to ensure that Gemini showed a range of people failed to account for cases that should clearly not show a range.”

Well, that’s another way of saying: “We’re so obsessed with pushing a race agenda that we forgot about reality.”
