The issue is anyone with an IQ over 85 can tell that this behavior is in no way a "malfunction" of the system. The system was intended to operate this way and the general population found the output abhorrent and wrong.
The way Gemini talks about certain events (and generates images) is clearly in line with the walled garden of compromised liberal thinking at google. I say this as someone who votes blue and considers themselves progressive.
What's unacceptable, is Google clearly thinking it was okay to use their AI to erase history how it actually happened and just play it off as their org having moral highground.
