Newbie artificial intelligence has a huge impact on future of search

Google's Gemini

Google recently launched Gemini, initially called Bard, its next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) model, with the latest version, Gemini 1.5 pro, released for free testing last month.

Gemini, like ChapGPT, can use text to answer questions and even generate images. The latter has caused problems for Google in recent days as Gemini generated inappropriate and misleading images, leaving the tech giant facing the wrath of an angry online community. The errors apparently spread to Gemini’s text answers, including one in which it replied to a prompt that there was no right or wrong when asked if Elon Musk posting memes on his platform X was worse than Adolf Hitler killing millions of people. Musk, responding to the story on X, described Gemini’s responses as “extremely alarming” given that the tool is to be built into Google products used by billions of people.
