“Google faces controversy over edited Gemini AI demo video”. CNBC reports that Google is under scrutiny for the demonstration video of its recently launched AI model, Gemini. The six-minute video showcased impressive capabilities, including voice conversations and object recognition. However, it was later revealed that the demo was not conducted in real time but used still images and text prompts. Google confirmed this after facing criticism, stating that the video was an illustrative depiction of Gemini’s possibilities. The company faces déjà vu, as it had previously received criticism for a rushed AI chatbot demonstration earlier in the year. Google is in competition with Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s GPT-4, with Gemini claimed to outperform GPT-4 in a recent white paper.
