Google issued what Fox Business described as an "apology" on Wednesday for manually programming their "AI" Gemini to erase white people.

From Fox Business, "Google apologizes after new Gemini AI refuses to show pictures, achievements of White people":

The latest version of Google's Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) will frequently produce images of Black, Native American and Asian people when prompted – but refuses to do the same for White people.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Gemini Experiences Senior Director of Product Management Jack Krawczyk addressed the responses from the AI that had led social media users to voice concern.

"We're working to improve these kinds of depictions immediately," Krawczyk said. "Gemini's AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. And that's generally a good thing because people around the world use it. But it's missing the mark here."

That's the full extent of their "apology."

That's not really much of an apology at all. While they may do some patchwork to fix their comically stupid edited prompts we all know they're not going to change their agenda.

Gemini Experiences Senior Director of Product Management Jack Krawczyk said on Twitter in 2018 that "White privilege is fucking real" and he works to "push people to recognize bias" because "we obviously have egregious racism in this country."

As I noted previously, Google is manually adding the text "representing different genders and ethnicities" to the end of people's Gemini prompts to force diversity and erase white people from history.

You can see this clearly because for whatever reason Gemini spelled it out in the response to a handful of prompts:

This was pretty much confirmed by someone purportedly tricking Gemini into leaking it's prompt injection process:
