Google admits that a Gemini AI demo video was staged

Dec 08, 2023 - engadget.com
Google's AI project, Gemini, has come under scrutiny after a demo video was found to be misleading. The video, titled "Hands-on with Gemini: Interacting with multimodal AI," was edited to speed up outputs and implied a voice interaction between the AI and a human user that did not actually occur. Instead, the demo was created using still image frames and text prompts, rather than Gemini responding to or predicting real-time changes.

Google denies any wrongdoing, referring to a post by Gemini's co-lead, Oriol Vinyals, who stated that all user prompts and outputs in the video were real and the video was made to inspire developers. However, the lack of a disclaimer about the actual input method has raised questions about Gemini's readiness and Google's transparency in its AI presentations.

Key takeaways:

  • Google is relying heavily on its GPT-4 competitor, Gemini, and recently staged parts of a demo video for it.
  • The video, titled 'Hands-on with Gemini: Interacting with multimodal AI,' was edited to speed up the outputs and did not feature real-time voice interaction between the user and the AI.
  • The actual demo was made using still image frames and text prompts, rather than Gemini responding to or predicting real-time changes, raising questions about its readiness.
  • Despite criticism, Google denies any wrongdoing, with Gemini's co-lead, Oriol Vinyals, stating that all user prompts and outputs in the video are real and the video was made to inspire developers.
