Chicago has a case, at least for fraud. Exxon et al. knew.

There is a reason that the Google AI refuses to provide images of white males -- it's because the product management executive who led the group is over-the-top woke. The failed AI product merely reflects the business product leader. Time for Google to add one more to the firing list.
Google executive's posts about 'White privilege,' 'systemic racism' resurface after team's botched AI launch
Google's Jack Krawczyk previously said the company is working to improve its AI 'immediately'

Social media posts from an executive at Google are being shared online after the tech giant apologized for its controversial rollout of a new AI service.
Posts allegedly from Gemini Experiences Senior Director of Product Management Jack Krawczyk have gone viral on X as users continue to flag Google's AI for, among other issues, showing pictures of and achievements of Black, Native American and Asian people, while refusing to do the same for White people.
Fox News Digital tested Gemini multiple times to see what kind of responses it would offer. Each time, it provided similar answers. When the AI was asked to show a picture of a White person, Gemini said it could not fulfill the request because it "reinforces harmful stereotypes and generalizations about people based on their race."
Krawczyk addressed the responses from the AI that led social media users to voice concerns earlier this week.
"We're working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately," Krawczyk told Fox News Digital. "Gemini's AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that's generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it's missing the mark here."
While Krawczyk has reportedly made his account private since Thursday, X users have started to unearth posts that appear to be his.
"White privilege is f---ing real," Krawczyk wrote in a screenshot of one tweet dated April 13, 2018. "Don’t be an a---hole and act guilty about it – do your part in recognizing bias at all levels of egregious."
On Jan. 20, 2021, Krawczyk allegedly wrote that President Biden’s inaugural address was "one of the greatest ever" for "acknowledging systemic racism" and "reiterating the American ideal is the dream for the world but we need to work on ourselves to earn it," as flagged by the New York Post.
One alleged post that Elon Musk shared a picture of also referenced Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
"I've been crying in intermittent bursts for the past 24 hours since casting my ballot. Filling in that Biden/Harris line felt cathartic."
"Then he called his Mommy, drank a whole case of soy milk & bing-watched Rachel Maddow," Musk wrote in mockery.
"I’m exaggerating, of course, but the tragic part is that it is directionally correct," Musk added in a follow-up post. "Also, I’m not picking on some rando. This nut is a big part of why Google’s AI is so racist & sexist."
Musk has repeatedly criticized Google in the wake of its controversial Gemini AI rollout.
"I’m glad that Google overplayed their hand with their AI image generation, as it made their insane racist, anti-civilizational programming clear to all," he wrote in a post Thursday.

Google parent loses $70B in market value after ‘woke’ AI chatbot disaster
https://nypost.com/2024/02/27/busin...-market-value-after-woke-ai-chatbot-disaster/
Sundar: Did you QA this thing?
Dev Lead: Absolutely.
Sundar: Who wrote the QA plan?
Dev Lead: Um, we asked Gemini to create one for us.
We will see... I think that AI will keep progressing. It's primary use is not generating woke images so therefore companies and people will keep using AI for productivity enhancements.
ChatGPT and Google Gemini Are Both Doomed
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/chatgpt-and-google-gemini-are-both-doomed.html
Last week, users noticed that Google’s chatbot, Gemini, was pretty insistent about generating racially diverse images of people. Insistent enough, in fact, that it seemed unable to generate an image of a white pope and replied to a prompt about Nazis with figures of various races in SS uniforms. Soon, screenshots proving Gemini’s “wokeness” were going viral: “It is not possible to say who definitively impacted society more, Elon tweeting memes or Hitler,” one Gemini response read. It was a peripheral skirmish in a preexisting culture war promoted by people who have been making similar ideological claims about Google and “big tech” for a long time. But it was also genuinely funny and a part of the even longer tradition of making chatbots produce weird, funny, or terrible outputs. Asked for help with an ad campaign promoting meat, a concerned-sounding Gemini suggested people should eat ethical beans instead. Pretty good.
Gemini’s coded attempts to preempt bad PR ended up producing a PR disaster. Within days, Google announced it was pausing Gemini’s ability to create any images of humans. Excitable commentators suggested Google CEO Sundar Pichai should resign; he sent a company-wide email calling the issues “unacceptable” and admitting “we got it wrong.” The chatbot is already adjusting. Asked now to compare not-Hitler to Hitler, Gemini will usually agree that Hitler was worse but will gently scold the user for asking, too:

My hypothesis is that the Woke reason for this glitch is a distraction from the real problem with AI which is much more complicated. Easy enough to blame it on some left leaning self loathing white guy programed his political ideology into a program. More likely, IMO, it's Model Collapse which is the real problem with AI.
I don't want to poison the well so to speak, but you guys who are interested can do some research into it and see if your conclusions are the same as my hypothesis. AI may not be the answer to everything that many think it is, and in fact may have a much more limited capacity in problem solving than originally anticipated.
I may have seen a video to that effect (timestamped) tho full rant is interesting:
