This is revisionism. There was quite a lot of noise around Google's terrible historical image generation.

One key difference though? Google backed off, apologized, and if I'm not mistaken, explicitly said "We messed up." Versus... this.

To be fair I'm pretty sure Gary Marcus did in fact bring that up at one point, and if I recall correctly the incident was embarrassing enough for Google to briefly pause the generation of AI images until it could correct the awkward bias in its image generation model.

What kind of pearl clutching should one do if Google is so audacious as to have their doodle recognize "ethnic minorities"?

My dad is old enough to remember when the Irish were ethnic minorities.
