Google officially stated that there was a problem with Gemini’s AI image generation, leading the company to disable the tool on February 22.
The company said it tweaked Gemini to make it more diverse and sidestep AI-generated issues, however, it went too far and made the robot “cautious.”
Google said it had brought the image-generating part of Gemini back for internal testing, saying the AI was prone to hallucinations and could still produce “inaccurate” results.
Google has issued a formal follow-up on an issue in which its Gemini model generated inaccurate AI images for specific prompts.
According to Google, when users prompt a bot asking for a series of images about a specific culture or historical timeline, they “absolutely deserve a response that accurately reflects” their intent. However, that’s not the case, and Google says its “tweaking” measures are where things went wrong in the first place.
