(Natural News) Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot – formerly called Bard – has been accused of generating fake reviews to smear a 2020 book that highlighted Big Tech’s political biases.

Peter Hasson, senior politics editor at Fox News, expounded on this accusation in a Feb. 27 op-ed. The work in question was his 2020 book titled “The Manipulators: Facebook, Google, Twitter and Big Tech’s War on Conservatives.” According to Hasson, the book “was a multi-year project on Big Tech’s political biases that drew on inside sources, leaked documents and more.”

“I was curious to see if Google’s AI program could be trusted to accurately describe an investigative book about Google, but I wasn’t prepared for just how misleading it would be. Gemini’s description of my book included this sentence: ‘The book has been criticized for lacking concrete evidence and relying on anecdotal information.'”

Hasson further pressed the AI about its less-than-stellar criticism of his book, asking in particular the names of reviewers who gave their thumbs-down. Gemini then returned summaries of four negative reviews:

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Yes

- Matthew Continetti of the Washington Free Beacon said the book relies “on ‘anecdotal evidence’ and ‘cherry-picking examples’ to support its claims.”

- Ben Smith of the New York Times touched on the book’s “lack of rigorous research and its reliance on ‘unsubstantiated claims.'”

- Emily Bazelon wrote in the New York Times Book Review that Hasson’s work “‘lacks a deep understanding of how these companies work’ and relies on ‘unproven accusations.'”

- Emily Dreyfuss purportedly wrote in a piece for WIRED magazine that the book’s claims about Big Tech bias suffer from a “dearth of evidence;” it also highlighted several examples of “cherry-picking.”

“But here’s the catch: None of those reviews were real, not one. And neither were any of the quotes,” Hasson disclosed. (Related: Google’s Gemini AI trying to eliminate white culture in MASSIVE “white purge” of past, present and future.)

Hasson noted that of the four examples Gemini provided, only the Free Beacon featured a review of his book. The February 2020 review by the outlet’s Charles Lehman praised “The Manipulators” as an “excellent” and “thoroughly researched.” Lehman continued: “The story he tells should leave any sensible reader, conservative or otherwise, outraged.”

Already aware that the reviews sent him were fake, Hasson asked Gemini for links to the information it cited. The Fox News senior politics editor tried three times but got this message from the AI chatbot: “I do not have enough information about that person to help with your request. I am a large language model, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions, but my knowledge about this person is limited.”

Hasson then reached out to Google for an explanation about the matter. A spokesperson for the search engine issued an apology and offered this explanation: “Gemini is built as a creativity and productivity tool, and it may not always be accurate or reliable. We’re continuing to quickly address instances in which the product isn’t responding appropriately.

Google recently came under fire over Gemini’s blatant erasure of White people from the images it generates. The AI chatbot’s latest model, Gemini 1.5, reportedly came up with excuses as to why it can’t create images of Caucasians when prompted.

Some users asked Gemini to generate pictures of Americans, but it only generated pictures of minorities. Even history wasn’t spared, as the chatbot created images of the Founding Fathers as having Black and Asian descent. Given this, many blasted the AI and its maker on social media for their clear anti-White bias.
