Google's gemini refuses to recreate the theatre scene from interview with the vampire because it would perpetuate harmful stereotypes. When the victim is a man however ...

The theatre scene? The one where a bunch of vampires did this "play" about vampires where they stripped some woman and turned her? (or did they just kill her, I can't remember...¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

I must admit, that's one of my favourite stereotypes about women... 🤣🤣🤣

The novel Varney the Vampyre (the second of the big four novels that created the vampire as it exists in modern culture) begins with the beautiful young woman attacked by what is, to all appearances, a vampire, which is driven off when her brothers come to her rescue. When they then go to investigate the crypt where the man believed to be the vampire is buried, she panics at the thought of being left alone- then asks to be given a gun. Half a century before Dracula was written, a hundred fifty years before Buffy, and three years before Seneca Falls, we had women seeking to protect themselves from vampire attacks. Kind of funny how that all got abandoned.

Anyway- it's Google. Why does it keep surprising you people that it acts like Google? What do you expect?

Protected classes are inferior classes.

Now do it with white men and see the AI go crazy lol.

Brainless AI is perpetuating stereotype. It is men who are mostly victims in movies. They can be killed by the dozen.

It's almost like the stereotype of men being disposable is no stereotype at all!

You’ll probably find it’s the same with ChatGPT, Claude, LLaMa, or any of them, because of how AI is ‘trained’ - all of them are given the data to work from, and then they are tested to see if they breach policies set by whoever made it.

This is fine for making sure you can’t use an AI to do anything illegal, although it overshoots on avoiding sexism, because of how policies are written. It’s like software companies build stuff, then let HR determine what it can do, which is where stuff like this springs up.

Who tf uses Gemini anyways

I'm kinda torn on this. I do agree that actually showing that males can be victims instead of mostly showing the victim being female and the perpetrator being male would actually help break harmful gendered stereotypes. But that probably isn't what Google was referring to.

Edit: very surprising to be downvoted on a men's rights sub for saying men are able to be the victims

AI sucks, but Gemini is by far the worst
