The use of artificial intelligence, now widespread, has generated much enthusiasm, but there was no shortage of criticism, especially in the face of obvious critical issues. That’s what happened to ‘s AI image generator GeminiGoogle’s generative AI-powered chatbotafter it provided users with some historically inaccurate results.
Google, after receiving the reports, immediately intervened, retiring Gemini’s AI image generator and making it unusable and inaccessible, with the promise of improving it as soon as possible.
Sergey Brinco-founder of Google and currently a member of the board of directors and main shareholder, admitted the mistakes made by the company. Only a few days ago Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, spoke about what the future of the tool could be.
Gemini AI image generator, statements from Google co-founder
A real admission of error the one that Sergey Brin released while speaking to a group of entrepreneurs passionate about technology and artificial intelligence at the AGI House in Hillsborough, California, while stating that he was speaking exclusively on his own behalf and not as a representative of the company.
The launch of Gemini, in more detail of its AI image generator, it was carried out too hastily, not carrying out sufficient tests that could guarantee its correct functioning.
This led to the generating historically inaccurate images and questionable responses, which ended up at the center of the cyclone and which led to the inevitable (temporary) decommissioning of the generator. Users, in fact, have raised doubts about the ability of Artificial Intelligence and the models used by Google to understand the historical context.
However, Brin was keen to point out that Google is not the only company facing the challenges and difficulties raised by AI. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Elon Musk’s Grok also require constant refinement and human oversight.

He also intervened on the issue in recent days Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Googlewho called the images produced by Gemini’s AI completely unacceptable.
The company’s commitment is now directed towards Gemini. That’s the intention to quickly address identified problems and eliminate themimproving the accuracy, precision and, consequently, reliability of Gemini.
A necessary step for regain user trust and to prevent Gemini, one of Google’s current flagship products, from succumbing to the Artificial Intelligence-based solutions of competitors and the company losing the place of relevance it has always occupied.
