Several news outlets reported that when prompted to generate images of German WW II soldiers, Gemini not only generated images of soldiers of male central European types, but various ethnicities and genders that were historically inaccurate, such as male black and female Asian soldiers.


Gemini also refused to generate pictures of white couples when instructed to do so, but had not issues creating images of black or Asian couples.
===Business model===


It is suspected that this is due to misguided efforts by Google to compensate for ethnical biases in the training data set, to cater to a "woke" zeitgeist and to support cancel culture by using a so-called ''initial prompt,'' a hidden fixed text that is prepended to the user's prompt, to always instruct the neural network to always generate pictures of all genders and ethnicities.

Google reacted by displaying a message that it is working on improving the depiction of people and would notify users when the feature returns.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Grant |first=Nico |date=2024-02-22 |title=Google Chatbot’s A.I.
