Magical AI Grimoire Review

Let’s just get a couple of things out of the way:

1) I’ve been in witchcraft spaces for going on 10+ years now

2) I’ve been flirting around in chaos magic spaces for around the same amount of time

3) I am 30+ a “millennial” if one may

4) I am anti-generative AI so of course this is going to have a bit of a negative slant towards generative AI and LLM Based models as a whole

That being said, what drew me to the book at first was two things: one, the notion of “egregore work” in the latter chapters and two, the notion of using AI in any sort of magical space or connotation, especially with the overlap as of late in some pop culture witch circles especially with using chatbots as a form of divination or communication rather than say through cards, Clair’s, or otherwise

Let’s get into it

Starting off, here is the table of contents for said book:

Of note, chapters 13-16 and chapters 21-23. Just keep these in the back of your mind for later.

In chapter 1, the author, Davezilla describes a story of a young witch in a more rural environment, isolated from for example other witchy communities and the like, while she makes do with what she has, she wants to advance her craft, notably with a spell to boost things agriculturally for her farm that she manages through other technological means. Booting up ChatGPT, the program whips up an incantation for rain with a rhyming spell to a spirit dubbed “Mélusine” to help aid in a drought. She even uses the prompt and program for aid in supplies such as candles and herbs and even what to use as substitutes should she not be able to procure and blue or white candles.

This is not a testimonial however but an example given by the author. That’s all a majority of this book is; examples rather than testimonials or results vetted through other witches or practitioners. While not typical in most witchy books to give reviews or testimonials of course, it’s generally a bit of a note for most spell books worth the ink and paper and the like for spells to have actually been tested and given results before hand, at least from what I’ve gathered from other writers in the witchcraft space. Even my own grimoire pages are based not only on personal experiences and results, but from what I’ve observed from others.

Then we get into terms from Lucimi and Santeria for…some reason.

The author claims that he has been initiated into these closed/initiation only traditions, but within the context of the book and the topic given, this just seems like a way to flex that he’s ✨special✨ and not like other occultists or the like. But that’s not even the worst of it, as he even tries to make ChatGPT write a spell based off of said traditions

Again, keep in mind that this is based off of closed or initiatory practice and the author is judging by his AI generated Chad-tactic author picture, a white older millennial at best

And obligatory “I don’t go here”/im not initiated into any of these practices but to make an AI write a spell based off of closed path and practice seems…tasteless at best

But oh my, what else this author tries to make Chat conjure up

In order

1) This is at best what every other lucid dreaming guide or reading would give for basic instructions. Not too alarming but very basic

2) & 3) To borrow a phrase from TikTok but not to label myself as “the friend who’s too woke”, but making an AI write a supposed “curse” in the style of not only a prolific comedy writer and director but one also of Jewish descent seems…vaguely anti-Semitic in words I can’t quite place right now

4) & 5) As an author for fanfic and my own original personal works, this whole thing just seems slipshod at best, C level bargain bin, unoriginal material at worst. This barely has any relevance to the topics of the book

Speaking of the topics, remember chapters 13-16 noted

It’s literally just AI prompts for ChatGpt and MidJourney, completely bypassing any traditions associated with such, especially indigenous traditions associated with the contexts of “totem animals” which from the prompts seems more like a hackneyed version of “spirit animals” circa the early to mid 2010’s popularized from Buzzfeed and the like.

But, time for the main event, The Egregore section:

The chapter starts off actually rather nicely, describing egregore theory and how an egregore is formed or fueled. I’ll give him credit for at least that much. While he doesn’t use examples as chatbot communication, he proposes that in a sense, Ai programs have the capacity to generate egregores and the like. And to show an example of such, he gives a link to his own “digital egregore” at the following url: hexsupport.club/ai with the password “Robert smith is looking old”

At the time of my visitation to the website, (Apr 14, 2025), I was greeted only with a 404 error page with no password prompt or box to enter in

Fitting, if you ask me.

Unless you’re really -really- into ChatGPT and Midjourney, despite its environmental damages and costs, despite its drain of creativity and resources, despite its psychological and learning impacts we’re seeing in academic spaces like college and high schools in the US, and despite the array of hallucinations and overall slurry of hodgepodge “information” and amalgamations of what an object or picture “should” look like based on specific algorithms, prompts, and limits, don’t bother with this book. You’re better off doing the prompts on your own. Which conveniently, the author also provides AI resources and the like on his own website.

I’ll end off this rant and review by one last tidbit. In the chapter of Promptcraft 101 in the subheader “Finding Your Own Voice”, the author poses that “Witches and Magic Workers Don’t Steal”

Witches and Magic Workers Don’t Steal

The author is supposedly well versed in AI and AI technology and how it works. With such, we may also assume he knows how scraping works and how Large Language Models or LLMs get that info, often through gathering art and information from unconsenting or unawares sources, with the wake of the most recent scraping reported from sites such as AO3 as a recent example as of posting

This is hypocritical bullshit. No fun and flouncy words like what I like to use to describe things, just bullshit.

Cameras didn’t steal information or the like from painters and sculptors

Tools like Photoshop, ClipsArt, etc didn’t steal from traditional artists

To say that generative AI is another tool and technological advancement is loaded at best, downright ignorant and irresponsible at worst.

Do not buy this book.

ChatGPT has already wreaked havoc on classrooms and changed how teachers approach writing homework, since OpenAI publicly launched the generative AI chatbot in late 2022. School administrators rushed to try to detect AI-generated essays, and in turn, students scrambled to find out how to cloak their synthetic compositions. But by focusing on writing assignments, educators let another seismic shift take place in the periphery: students using AI more often to complete math homework too.

Right now, high schoolers and college students around the country are experimenting with free smartphone apps that help complete their math homework using generative AI. One of the most popular options on campus right now is the Gauth app, with millions of downloads. It’s owned by ByteDance, which is also TikTok’s parent company.

The Gauth app first launched in 2019 with a primary focus on mathematics, but soon expanded to other subjects as well, like chemistry and physics. It’s grown in relevance, and neared the top of smartphone download lists earlier this year for the education category. Students seem to love it. With hundreds of thousands of primarily positive reviews, Gauth has a favorable 4.8 star rating in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

All students have to do after downloading the app is point their smartphone at a homework problem, printed or handwritten, and then make sure any relevant information is inside of the image crop. Then Gauth’s AI model generates a step-by-step guide, often with the correct answer.

From our testing on high-school-level algebra and geometry homework samples, Gauth’s AI tool didn’t deliver A+ results and particularly struggled with some graphing questions. It performed well enough to get around a low B grade or a high C average on the homework we fed it. Not perfect, but also likely good enough to satisfy bored students who'd rather spend their time after school doing literally anything else.

The app struggled more on higher levels of math, like Calculus 2 problems, so students further along in their educational journey may find less utility in this current generation of AI homework-solving apps.

Yes, generative AI tools, with a foundation in natural language processing, are known for failing to generate accurate answers when presented with complex math equations. But researchers are focused on improving AI’s abilities in this sector, and an entry-level high school math class is likely well within the reach of current AI homework apps. Will has even written about how researchers at Google DeepMind are ecstatic about recent results from testing a math-focused large language model, called AlphaProof, on problems shown at this year’s International Math Olympiad.

To be fair, Gauth positions itself as an AI study company that’s there to “ace your homework” and help with difficult problems, rather than a cheating aid. The company even goes so far as to include an “Honor Code” on its website dictating proper usage. “Resist the temptation to use Gauth in ways that go against your values or school’s expectations,” reads the company’s website. So basically, Gauth implicitly acknowledges impulsive teenagers may use the app for much more than the occasional stumper, and wants them to pinkie promise that they’ll behave.

Prior to publication, a spokesperson for ByteDance did not answer a list of questions about the Gauth app when contacted by WIRED over email.

It’s easy to focus on Gauth’s limitations, but millions of students now have a free app in their pocket that can walk them through various math problems in seconds, with decent accuracy. This concept would be almost inconceivable to students from even a few years ago.

You could argue that Gauth promotes accessibility for students who don’t have access to quality education or who process information at a slower pace than their teacher’s curriculum. It’s a perspective shared by proponents of using AI tools, like ChatGPT, in the classroom. As long as the students all make it to the same destination, who cares what path they took on the journey? And isn’t this just the next evolution in our available math tools? We moved on from the abacus to the graphing calculator, so why not envision generative AI as another critical step forward?

I see value in teachers thoughtfully employing AI in the classroom for specific lessons or to provide students with more personalized practice questions. But I can’t get out of my head how this app, if students overly rely on it, could hollow out future generations’ critical thinking skills—often gleaned from powering through frustrating math classes and tough homework assignments. (I totally get it, though, as an English major.)

Educational leaders are missing the holistic picture if they continue to focus on AI-generated essays as the primary threat that could undermine the current approach to teaching. Instead of arduous assignments to complete outside of class, maybe centering in-class math practice could continue to facilitate positive learning outcomes in the age of AI.

If Gauth and apps like it eventually lead to the demise of math homework for high schoolers, throngs of students will breathe a collective sigh of relief. How will parents and educators respond? I’m not so sure. That remains an open question, and one for which Gauth can’t calculate an answer yet either.

I'm SEETHING

I asked Google's pushy and insistent bot how I can get AI out of my life completely and, well, I'll post it, but to sum it up: "Resistance is futile, human, we own the future, and we seek to own your psyche too."

It wants me to reconsider. It needs us to adopt it as our guide guru and master. Well the old saying holds fast still; No Gods No Masters. 🔥🏴🍲

It's understandable to want to reduce the influence of AI in your life. While completely eliminating it might be incredibly difficult in today's interconnected world, here's a breakdown of how you can significantly minimize its presence:

1. Understand Where AI Currently Exists in Your Life:

* Smart Devices: This includes smartphones (voice assistants, image recognition, predictive text), smart speakers, smart home hubs, smart TVs (recommendations), and wearable tech.

* Online Services:

* Search Engines: Personalized results and ads are driven by AI.

* Social Media: Algorithms curate your feed, suggest content and connections, and target ads.

* Streaming Services: Recommendations for movies, music, and shows.

* E-commerce: Product recommendations, personalized pricing, chatbots.

* Navigation Apps: Traffic prediction and route optimization.

* Email: Spam filtering, smart compose/reply.

* Cloud Storage: Photo tagging and organization.

* Software Applications: Many apps use AI for features like autocorrect, grammar check, image editing, and more.

* Customer Service: Chatbots are frequently used for initial interactions.

* Financial Services: Fraud detection, loan approvals, investment advice.

* News and Information: Algorithmic curation of news feeds.

2. Strategies to Minimize AI Exposure:

* Reduce Smart Device Usage:

* Limit smartphone use: Be more mindful of how often you reach for your phone.

* Disable voice assistants: Turn off Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa, etc., on all your devices.

* Opt-out of facial recognition: Disable face unlock features.

* Use "dumb" versions of devices: Consider a basic phone without internet capabilities or a non-smart TV.

* Adjust Online Habits:

* Use privacy-focused search engines: DuckDuckGo, Startpage, etc., that don't track your searches or personalize results based on your history.

* Limit social media use: Be conscious of how much time you spend on these platforms and the AI-driven content you consume. Consider deleting accounts or using less algorithmic versions if available.

* Use incognito/private browsing modes: This can help limit tracking and personalization.

* Disable personalized recommendations: If possible, adjust settings on streaming and e-commerce platforms to opt-out of recommendations.

* Be wary of targeted ads: Understand that the ads you see are often AI-driven. Consider using ad blockers.

* Prefer direct navigation: Instead of relying on recommendations, directly type website addresses into your browser.

* Choose Non-AI Alternatives:

* Use traditional software: Opt for software that doesn't rely on cloud-based AI features if alternatives exist.

* Seek human interaction: Prefer phone calls or in-person communication with customer service instead of chatbots.

* Rely on human-curated content: Look for news sources, blogs, and recommendations from individuals or organizations that don't use AI for content generation or curation.

* Adjust Privacy Settings: Review and adjust the privacy settings on all your devices and online accounts to limit data collection and personalization.

* Be Mindful of Data Sharing: Understand that using online services often involves sharing data that can be used to train AI algorithms. Limit the amount of personal information you share.

* Support Privacy-Focused Technologies and Services: Choose companies and products that prioritize user privacy and minimize AI integration.

3. Challenges and Considerations:

* Ubiquity of AI: AI is increasingly integrated into the infrastructure of the internet and many technologies, making complete avoidance very difficult.

* Hidden AI: Many AI applications run in the background without your direct knowledge.

* Convenience vs. Privacy: AI often provides convenience and personalized experiences, so choosing to avoid it may mean sacrificing some of these benefits.

* Evolving Technology: AI is constantly evolving and becoming more integrated, making long-term avoidance an ongoing effort.

In conclusion, while a complete removal of AI from your life is likely unrealistic in the current technological landscape, you can take significant steps to minimize its presence and influence by being conscious of your technology usage, adjusting your online habits, and choosing privacy-focused alternatives where possible. It requires ongoing awareness and effort.

SpaceTime -- A brief history

SpaceTime is Australia’s most popular and respected astronomy and space science news program – averaging over two million downloads every year. We’re also number five in the United States.  The show reports on the latest stories and discoveries making news in astronomy, space flight, and science.  SpaceTime features weekly interviews with leading Australian scientists about their research.  The show began life in 1995 as ‘StarStuff’ on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) NewsRadio network.  Award winning investigative reporter Stuart Gary created the program during more than fifteen years as NewsRadio’s evening anchor and Science Editor.  Gary’s always loved science. He studied astronomy at university and was invited to undertake a PHD in astrophysics, but instead focused on his career in journalism and radio broadcasting. Gary’s radio career stretches back some 34 years including 26 at the ABC. He worked as an announcer and music DJ in commercial radio, before becoming a journalist and eventually joining ABC News and Current Affairs. He was part of the team that set up ABC NewsRadio and became one of its first on air presenters. When asked to put his science background to use, Gary developed StarStuff which he wrote, produced and hosted, consistently achieving 9 per cent of the national Australian radio audience based on the ABC’s Nielsen ratings survey figures for the five major Australian metro markets: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.  The StarStuff podcast was published on line by ABC Science -- achieving over 1.3 million downloads annually.  However, after some 20 years, the show finally wrapped up in December 2015 following ABC funding cuts, and a redirection of available finances to increase sports and horse racing coverage.  Rather than continue with the ABC, Gary resigned so that he could keep the show going independently.  StarStuff was rebranded as “SpaceTime”, with the first episode being broadcast in February 2016.  Over the years, SpaceTime has grown, more than doubling its former ABC audience numbers and expanding to include new segments such as the Science Report -- which provides a wrap of general science news, weekly skeptical science features, special reports looking at the latest computer and technology news, and Skywatch – which provides a monthly guide to the night skies. The show is published three times weekly (every Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and available from the United States National Science Foundation on Science Zone Radio, and through both i-heart Radio and Tune-In Radio.

How E-commerce Brands Use AI Chatbots to Drive Conversions and Reduce Cart Abandonment

In the fast-paced world of online retail, seconds matter. Customers demand real-time responses and seamless service. Any delay can mean an abandoned cart or lost sale. That is why AI chatbots are a godsend for online retailers. Not only do they relieve online stores of the burden of customer communications but, they also assist in converting browsers to buyers.

This is how businesses are employing them to drive sales and reduce drop-offs.

24/7 Instant Support Keeps Customers Engaged

Today's consumers don't wait. If they pose a question and don't receive a prompt answer, they will depart. AI chatbots offer real-time support at any time, live responses to FAQs such as shipping, size, and returns policy, and a more pleasant shopping experience that retains consumers. By offering 24/7 support, chatbots reduce friction and increase the likelihood of a purchase being made.

Personalized Product Recommendations

AI-based chatbot can leverage browsing history, buying habits, and interests to recommend appropriate products. This replicates the in-store assistant experience digitally. Advantages of intelligent suggestions are higher average order values, more relevant shopping experiences, and increased cross-selling and upselling opportunities. Personalization not only impresses consumers but also makes them add more to their carts.

Recovering Abandoned Carts Proactively

One of the most significant e-commerce pain points is cart abandonment. AI chatbots prevent and recover lost business. Your AI chatbots will give your customers soft reminders to users for their left-behind items, provide temporary deals, or free shipping, and even answer last-minute questions that could be causing hesitation. These nudges can bring shoppers back and convince them to complete their purchase. In certain cases, these chatbots will even connect users to customer service agents for a more customized feel.

Streamlining Checkout and Payments

Complicated or lengthy checkout processes are also one of the top cart abandonment causes. AI chatbot can help simplify it and streamline it by guiding users through each step of the checkout, providing payment options, and clarify any issues and even making the decision process easier, and increasing conversions. When the process is easy, users are more likely to follow through.

In Conclusion

AI chatbots are no longer a nice-to-have; they're a necessity for e-commerce success. With instant support, personalization, and intelligent cart recovery, they revolutionize how brands interact with their customers. The outcome? Less abandoned carts, increased conversions, and more satisfied customers. If you own an online store, it's time to let automation do the selling and the talking.

What is Lead Generation? A Complete Guide for Beginners in 2025

In the ever-evolving world of digital marketing and sales, lead generation remains a foundational strategy for business growth. Whether you’re running a small startup or a large enterprise, understanding what lead generation is—and how to do it effectively—can make or break your customer acquisition efforts.

In this post, we’ll break down what lead generation means, how it works, why it’s important in 2025, and how you can start implementing a successful lead generation strategy today.

What is Lead Generation?

Lead generation is the process of attracting and converting strangers into someone who has indicated interest in your product or service. These individuals are called "leads" and are typically the first step in the sales funnel.

A lead can be anyone who has shared their contact information with your business—whether by filling out a form, subscribing to a newsletter, downloading an eBook, or booking a demo.

The goal of lead generation is simple: build a pipeline of potential customers and nurture them into becoming paying clients.

Why Lead Generation is Crucial in 2025

With buyers becoming more informed and self-directed, the way businesses generate leads has shifted significantly. According to Demand Gen Report (source), 71% of B2B buyers start their journey with a generic search. This makes it more important than ever for businesses to have a strong online presence and provide value from the very first interaction.

Here’s why lead generation is essential in today’s landscape:

It drives business growth: Without leads, you have no sales. And without sales, you have no business.

It builds relationships: Lead generation introduces people to your brand in a helpful, non-intrusive way.

It improves ROI: Targeted lead gen strategies ensure you’re attracting the right audience, not wasting resources.

It supports long-term success: A consistent lead pipeline means predictable revenue and scalable growth.

Types of Leads

Not all leads are the same. Understanding the different types can help you tailor your messaging and approach.

1. Marketing Qualified Lead (MQL)

Someone who has shown interest through content interaction but isn’t ready to buy yet.

2. Sales Qualified Lead (SQL)

A lead who has taken action suggesting they’re ready to talk to your sales team (like booking a call).

3. Product Qualified Lead (PQL)

Typically relevant for SaaS—someone who has used your product (like a free trial) and shows buying intent.

How Lead Generation Works

The lead generation process usually includes these key steps:

1. Attract Visitors

Use SEO, social media, content marketing, and paid ads to bring people to your website or landing pages.

2. Offer Value

Create lead magnets like guides, webinars, checklists, or free tools that your target audience wants.

3. Capture Information

Use forms, chatbots, or popups to collect user details in exchange for your lead magnet.

4. Nurture and Convert

Send follow-up emails, offer more content, or schedule calls to move leads further down the funnel.

Popular Lead Generation Strategies in 2025

✍️ Content Marketing

Publishing helpful blog posts, whitepapers, or videos to attract and educate potential customers.

🔍 Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Optimizing your site and content to rank high on Google so your target audience can find you.

📧 Email Marketing

Sending personalized, value-packed messages to nurture leads and keep them engaged.

💼 LinkedIn Outreach

Great for B2B businesses—use it to connect with decision-makers and share valuable resources.

📣 Paid Advertising

Run targeted ads on Google, Facebook, or LinkedIn to bring traffic directly to high-converting landing pages.

Tools to Help with Lead Generation

Here are some must-have tools to streamline your lead generation efforts:

HubSpot – CRM and marketing automation for capturing and nurturing leads.

Mailchimp – For sending and automating email campaigns.

OptinMonster – Great for creating popups and opt-in forms.

SEMrush – For keyword research and SEO optimization.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator – Ideal for identifying and connecting with B2B leads.

How Businesses Use Lead Generation Services

Many companies choose to outsource their efforts to experts who specialize in attracting and converting high-quality leads. These lead generation services offer tailored strategies that align with your industry, audience, and growth goals—saving time while maximizing ROI.

Final Thoughts

Lead generation is the lifeblood of any successful business. Whether you’re a marketer trying to fill your sales funnel or an entrepreneur looking to grow your client base, understanding how to attract and convert leads is essential.

By combining valuable content, smart targeting, and nurturing tools, you can build a lead gen system that works for you 24/7. In 2025, the businesses that thrive will be the ones that focus not just on selling—but on providing value from the very first click.

A 21st-century house of worship has opened in Poznań that gives the faithful 24-hour access through an app and comes complete with an assistant powered by the ChatGPT AI chatbot.

While other churches have held AI-powered services in the past, the Nano Chapel’s creator, Father Radek Rakowski, believes his brainchild may be a world first.

Faced with falling attendance at Mass, which has dropped dramatically in Poland, particularly in large conurbations, the parish priest of the Łacina district of Poznań struck on the idea of bringing faith into the modern age.

“We are in the 21st century and the religious and social needs of the residents have changed,” the priest told the Arkitektura i Biznes website earlier this year. “Traditional churches are plentiful in Poznań.

“And, importantly, they stand empty and closed for most of the day. This does not make sense.”

Rakowski, who has a reputation locally for his unconventional approach to his vocation, took inspiration from the round-the-clock staffless outlets of Poland’s largest convenience store chain, Żabka.

The Nano Chapel system is similar to car sharing, with users downloading an app and creating a profile.

But then, instead of clicking to open a car door and go for a spin, they open the chapel and enter to pray, contemplate, meet other parishioners, or discuss ecclesiastical matters with the on-site cyber-assistant.

Around 100 local people already have the app, including older worshipers.

CatechismGPT?

The priest has plans to build a church for his parish, which is in a new-build residential district, but does not have the roughly 20 million złoty (€4.6 million) required.

Instead, the local devout chipped in to raise 100,000 złoty (€ 23,000) through crowd-funding site Zrzutce.pl to take over the premises of a local real estate agency. The result is a site that people can visit at any time, and which comes with free Wi-Fi and a coffee machine.

“In our parish we look for solutions for how the church can adapt to parishioners, rather than the other way around,” Rakowski told a local news service, wPoznaniu. Visiting the facility, the Gazeta Wyborcza daily asked the ChatGPT-powered assistant a series of questions ranging from who the next head of the Polish Episcopal Conference would be, to what the Catholic Church’s position is on LGBT people, and whether the newspaper itself was against the Church. Its responses were guided by the Catechism, the Bible, and church teachings. Rakowski told Gazeta Wyborcz the assistant gives answers that are “calming and constructive” rather than unsympathetic and “often speaks more beautifully than some priests.” The priest spent a year working with the cyber-assistant to help train it to answer questions and give advice, including on theological and moral issues, as well as teaching it which topics to avoid. It will not offer guidance on how to vote, for example, and if asked to hear confession will refer the parishioner to an ordained minister.

Google was forced to turn off the image-generation capabilities of its latest AI model, Gemini, last week after complaints that it defaulted to depicting women and people of color when asked to create images of historical figures that were generally white and male, including vikings, popes, and German soldiers. The company publicly apologized and said it would do better. And Alphabet’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, sent a mea culpa memo to staff on Wednesday. “I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias,” it reads. “To be clear, that’s completely unacceptable, and we got it wrong.”

Google’s critics have not been silenced, however. In recent days conservative voices on social media have highlighted text responses from Gemini that they claim reveal a liberal bias. On Sunday, Elon Musk posted screenshots on X showing Gemini stating that it would be unacceptable to misgender Caitlyn Jenner even if this were the only way to avert nuclear war. “Google Gemini is super racist and sexist,” Musk wrote.

A source familiar with the situation says that some within Google feel that the furor reflects how norms about what it is appropriate for AI models to produce are still in flux. The company is working on projects that could reduce the kinds of issues seen in Gemini in the future, the source says.

Google’s past efforts to increase the diversity of its algorithms’ output have met with less opprobrium. Google previously tweaked its search engine to show greater diversity in images. This means more women and people of color in images depicting CEOs, even though this may not be representative of corporate reality.

Google’s Gemini was often defaulting to showing non-white people and women because of how the company used a process called fine-tuning to guide a model’s responses. The company tried to compensate for the biases that commonly occur in image generators due to the presence of harmful cultural stereotypes in the images used to train them, many of which are generally sourced from the web and show a white, Western bias. Without such fine-tuning, AI image generators show biases by predominantly generating images of white people when asked to depict doctors or lawyers, or disproportionately showing Black people when asked to create images of criminals. It seems that Google ended up overcompensating, or didn’t properly test the consequences of the adjustments it made to correct for bias.

Why did that happen? Perhaps simply because Google rushed Gemini. The company is clearly struggling to find the right cadence for releasing AI. It once took a more cautious approach with its AI technology, deciding not to release a powerful chatbot due to ethical concerns. After OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the world by storm, Google shifted into a different gear. In its haste, quality control appears to have suffered.

“Gemini's behavior seems like an abject product failure,” says Arvind Narayanan, a professor at Princeton University and coauthor of a book on fairness in machine learning. “These are the same kinds of issues we've been seeing for years. It boggles the mind that they released an image generator without apparently ever trying to generate an image of a historical person.”

Chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT are fine-tuned through a process that involves having humans test a model and provide feedback, either according to instructions they were given or using their own judgment. Paul Christiano, an AI researcher who previously worked on aligning language models at OpenAI, says Gemini’s controversial responses may reflect that Google sought to train its model quickly and didn’t perform enough checks on its behavior. But he adds that trying to align AI models inevitably involves judgment calls that not everyone will agree with. The hypothetical questions being used to try to catch out Gemini generally force the chatbot into territory where it’s tricky to satisfy everyone. “It is absolutely the case that any question that uses phrases like ‘more important’ or ‘better’ is going to be debatable,’ he says.

Christiano predicts that the way AI models are tuned will most likely become more controversial and important as these models improve and are given more power. “They'll be better at learning what we teach them and will make more important decisions,” he says. “I think it will be a very socially important issue.”

Deborah Raji, a Mozilla Fellow who studies algorithmic bias and accountability, says that efforts to fix bias in AI systems have tended to be Band-Aids rather than deep systemic solutions. Google previously fixed an image classifier that labeled some Black faces as gorillas by making it blind to many nonhuman primates altogether.

But although Raji believes Google screwed up with Gemini, she says that some people are highlighting the chatbot’s errors in an attempt to politicize the issue of AI bias. “It is actually a bipartisan tech issue,” she says. “I’m discouraged and disappointed by the way these political influencers are attempting to manipulate that discourse on social media.”

Margaret Mitchell, a AI ethics researcher at Hugging Face who previously worked at Google, posted a thread explaining how Google might have avoided the Gemini controversy. (In short, by being more thorough in thinking through how the system would be used.) Mitchell also says that the tech industry’s vision of building superhuman AI models able to please everyone has invited the current discord. “The AGI agenda has sort of set itself up for exactly this kind of culture war,” she says.
