Google's Gemini AI Struggles with Political Correctness Backlash

Google's Gemini AI tool, akin to ChatGPT, faced criticism for generating images and texts deemed overly politically correct. It inaccurately depicted historical figures and provided questionable responses to sensitive questions, prompting an apology and a pause in its operation.
