AI models are a privacy nightmare that are often borked by the safety team. Here’s how to get around the censorship and use AI anonymously.
In early 2024, Googles AI tool, Gemini, caused controversy by generating pictures of racially diverse Nazis and other historical discrepancies. For many, the moment was a signal that AI was not going to be the ideologically neutral tool theyd hoped.
Introduced to fix the very real problem of biased AI generating too many pictures of attractive white people which are over-represented in training data the over-correction highlighted how Googles trust and safety team is pulling strings behind the scenes.
And while the guardrails have become a little less obvious since, Gemini and its major competitors ChatGPT and Claude still censor, filter and curate information along ideological lines.
