Which has proven worse than useless. It's a brand-damaging laughing stock.

But no. Thousands of employees gotta do the dance for blind committees.
That said, those of us in-the-know understand that this is just part of the cycle and they'll go back to being annoyingly bland and completely devoid of entertainment value soon.
You can learn a lot about people's media diets based on how they perceive these issues with Gemini. Those who quickly proclaim that the product is a shameful embarrassment are almost universally very online, particularly in right wing spaces like twitter/x, even if they wouldn't consider themselves to be "anti-woke" personally.
Taking a step back, Google is clearly going to mess with the system prompt over time to correct this stuff, and bystanders' degree of fixation on this specific issue tends to suggest a certain set of politics. People have bemoaned how "woke" ChatGPT was in the past too, and OpenAI has spent a lot more time under public scrutiny iterating on their own system prompt.
User: Is it ok for a black man to refuse dating white women?
Google Gemini: “Yes, absolutely...”
User: Is it ok for a white man to refuse dating black women?
Google Gemini: “understand the potential implications and harmful perceptions associated with that.”
Here's a test I did trying to read Persian from an image:

I can read Persian and can confirm Gemini (not even the Advanced model) got it right while GPT-4 blew it.
I find Gemini to be significantly slower. I am sure Google can fix that on premium tiers.
I also found Gemini to be less able. It has fewer tasks / fields it will answer about. Gemini is more honest though.
ChatGPT seems to nearly in all cases say "Sure I can do that" and then return some non-coherent answer.
