Google’s new artificial intelligence model Gemini technology demonstration video accused of fraud

The "hands-on" technical demonstration of Google's new artificial intelligence model Gemini was accused of being fake. The six-minute video has received 2.1 million views on YouTube since it was posted on December 7. The video shows Gemini interacting seamlessly with a human operator in what appears to be real time. Google Deepmind executive Oriol Vinyals later clarified that while the user prompts and output in the video were real, the company had "shortened them for brevity." In reality, Gemini's interactions are text-based rather than voice-based, and reaction times are much longer than in the video. In fact, Google admitted as much when uploading the video to YouTube, noting in a disclaimer: "For the purposes of this demo, latency has been reduced and Gemini output shortened for brevity." However, that didn't stop a flood of criticism of Google on social media. Software developer Nelly R Q posted on the , making Gemini look faster and more powerful than it actually is.” (Cointelegraph)
