I'm all for letting people of all backgrounds having an equal work/representation opportunity but this ai went too far.

What I am against is taking official / past figures such as u.s presidents and race swapping them. These are real people who were white. Sorry if it offends someone but that's just how it was.

At this point we are putting dei even over who use to govern the u.s as offical presidents? Why? Who does this help? If anything you make people with legit purposes hate dei more by doing this. Imagine if they did that to president Obama people would be sticking it to Google 10 times harder then they are now.

I can't speak much about my opinion on a person, as it might a be off topic of the original post and b start controversy for either side of politics.

Sure some people can be controversal, but to have something like gemini and to seemingly go out of their way to just not generate a persons appearance traits accurately. Not the most proffesional look.

Although, if a user were to ask for a raceswap of a historical president I would be ok with that if that's something they inputed that they wanted.
