Google temporarily halted its latest AI image generation model, Gemini, after admitting to inaccuracies in the historical depictions created by the AI chatbot. The company acknowledged the need for improvements to filter hate content and introduce diversity into its inputs. Gemini, akin to OpenAI's ChatGPT, creates realistic images based on descriptions but lacks training in these crucial aspects. Google aims to enhance Gemini's capabilities, particularly in tasks like content summarization and writing, with Gemini Pro touted as more advanced than GPT-3.5. While Gemini is currently available in Nano and Pro sizes on Google products like Pixel 8 phones and Bard chatbots, plans are underway to integrate it into various services like Search, Ads, and Chrome. The decision to pause Gemini's image generation stems from a recognition of the need for inclusivity and representation in the tool's outputs, as highlighted by discrepancies spotted in historical depictions.
