"Google's Gemini AI Controversy: Apology, Demands, and Stock Sell-Off"

Google cofounder Sergey Brin admitted that the company "definitely messed up" with Gemini's image generation, attributing the issue to a lack of thorough testing. Brin, who came out of retirement due to AI's "exciting" trajectory, has been more involved with Google's AI strategy since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT. The controversy surrounding Gemini has sparked criticism of left-leaning bias among Big Tech employees, with Elon Musk being vocal about the bot's responses. Brin pushed back on some of the criticism, stating that any text model under pressure could say "pretty weird things" and that Google hasn't fully understood why Gemini leans left in some cases.
