Sorry Alan… but imma gonna have to use the ‘bullshit tech’ tag for this one…
Google has a lot to prove with its AI efforts — but it can’t seem to stop tripping over its own feet.
Earlier this week, the tech giant announced Gemini, its most capable AI model to date, to much fanfare. In one of a series of videos, Google showed off the mid-level range of the model dubbed Gemini Pro by demonstrating how it could recognize a series of illustrations of a duck, describing the changes a drawing went through at a conversational pace.
But there’s one big problem, as Bloomberg columnist Parmy Olson points out: Google appears to have faked the whole thing.
In its own description of the video, Google admitted that “for the purposes of this demo, latency has been reduced, and Gemini outputs have been shortened for brevity.” The video footage itself is also appended with the phrase “sequences shortened throughout.”
