Gemini (ex-Bard), the generative artificial intelligence of Google Based on the Imagen 2 text-to-image model, it cannot currently create images of people. The reason for the blockade operated by the Mountain View company is to be found in the too many errors committed, particularly on historical subjects, which created a real case, including black and Chinese Nazi soldiers, Indian American founding fathers, refusals to create images of white men and other egregious historical inaccuracies, born from the algorithm revision aimed at promote inclusiveness of results.
It was known that Google was reviewing Gemini, but now the drastic decision has been made to limit the service until it has been fixed. So no more images of people created by Gemini until further notice.
It must be said that in our area the service had not yet been activated, so in theory we have not lost anything. Be that as it may, using a VPN makes it easy to verify the block. For example, by asking to generate a football team made up only of Pianesani clones, you get a warning: “I understood your request to create the image of a football team made up of men who resemble Alessio Pianesani, but the My guidelines prevent me from generating images of people. The guidelines are to ensure responsible use of image generation technology, avoiding harm and abuse.”
