With much fanfare, earlier this week Google unveiled Gemini AI, its most advanced AI model so far. As part of the launch, it released several videos on.
A hot potato: It is hard to say whether Google was being deliberately deceptive but there are billions of dollars at stake in the race to be No. 1 in generative AI. Anything that smacks of being second-best in this race will hurt. Unfortunately for the tech giant, that could include a demonstration video perceived to be faked.
With much fanfare, earlier this week Google unveiled Gemini AI, its most advanced AI model so far. As part of the launch, it released several videos on YouTube, X / Twitter, and a post describing Gemini’s attributes and performance. But now Gemini’s story is moving in a new direction; one that Google surely doesn’t like and probably didn’t anticipate. The six-minute demonstrative video has been seized upon as painting a misleading picture of Gemini’s capabilities, namely that some of the depictions of Gemini in action didn’t actually happen in real time even though the video suggested that they did.
