Google has paused the image-generation capabilities of its Gemini AI chatbot after a series of controversies.
The Mountain View, California-based company admitted that Gemini offered "inaccuracies in some historical depictions"
Google also promised to release an improved version of the feature soon.
In a statement about Gemini's text-to-image capabilities, Google wrote: “We’re working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately."
After lagging behind the competition for a long time, Google decided to add image-generation capabilities to its Gemini AI.
In contrast, Microsoft's Bing and OpenAI's Dall-E 3 have been able to generate images since at least last year.
But Gemini was soon embroiled in a controversy over its image generation capabilities, with many users accusing it of being too "woke".
Users claimed that it was difficult to get even Gemini to acknowledge the existence of white people.
