~~===Over~~-~~eager political correctness filter (''February 2024'')===~~

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.~~

~~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~~.

=== Data tracking (''2025'')===

===Inclusion of stricter usage limits (2026)===

On May 19th 2026, Google announced Gemini language models will now have stricter usage limits, involving periodic refreshes in order to use the models. Gemini app users received an e-mail, containing the following message:

{{quote| Usage limits in the Gemini app: For the Gemini app, we’re introducing compute-based usage limits that factor in the complexity of your prompt, the features you use, and the length of your chat. Your limit refreshes every 5 hours until you reach your weekly limit. As an AI Pro subscriber, you’ll enjoy a 4x higher usage limit than non-subscribers.that reset every 5 hours along with overall weekly limits.}}

~~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.

These usage limits are live since May 20th, 2026. They have a 5-hour refresh, along with an overall weekly refresh. Aspects like a bigger conversational context and the usage of more powerful Gemini models make to reach this limit faster. <ref>{{Cite web |last=Schoon |first=Ben |date=21 May 2026 |title=Gemini’s new usage limits are live, and users already seem frustrated about it |url=https://9to5google.com/2026/05/21/gemini-usage-limits-live-user-reactions/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260521152738/https://9to5google.com/2026/05/21/gemini-usage-limits-live-user-reactions/ |archive-date=2026-05-21|access-date=22 May 2026 |website=9toGoogle}}</ref>
