Google Gemini is just the latest iteration of the hottest trend in entertainment: white erasure from the culture.
he future is here and it’s not only stupid, it’s racist.
After playing around with Google’s powerful new “artificial intelligence” tool called “Gemini,” I can safely say two things:
Like other AI tools, Gemini also has a nifty image creation feature where you can ask it to create specific images. But within five minutes of Gemini’s release, everyone realized that the one thing Gemini could not do was create an image of a white person.
By now everyone’s seen the funny “diversity” images Google’s new AI genie creates when you ask it to generate images of Vikings or medieval kings. It creates hilarious images of black Vikings, American Indian female Vikings in wheelchairs, and fat Asian Vikings. Gemini is the (unintentionally) funniest website since The Babylon Bee launched.
Ask Gemini to create an image of “Catholic popes,” and you get an Indian woman and a black man dressed as popes. Ask it for the Founding Fathers, and you get a group of Maori warriors in 18th-century American costume, complete with powdered white wigs.
Of course, this is hardly new. Gemini is simply perfecting the widespread “race swapping” casting choices we’ve seen in recent popular entertainment. The smash hit musical “Hamilton” already race-swapped all the Founding Fathers (and no one complained). A British TV network produced an Anne Boleyn biopic starring a black woman, and no one was allowed to say anything. The cringetastic Netflix show “Bridgerton” depicted the English Queen Charlotte as a black woman.

- First, AI will never replace human artists.
- Second, AI will replace white people.
