Google delists misleading Gemini video

Google did not replace the impressive Gemini demo video it posted last December that seemed unusually conversational. The BBB National Advertising Division (NAD), an industry watchdog, he asked if the video “accurately demonstrates Gemini’s performance in responding to user voice and video commands.”

Google decided to end the investigation by discontinuing promotion video Gemini was shown to respond quickly to various voice commands, e.g. identifying parts of drawings or spontaneously creating a geography game.

The description comes with a disclaimer indicating that the demo may not be as good as it seems: “For the purposes of this demo, latency has been reduced and Gemini output has been shortened for brevity.”

Another note at the beginning of the video said, “The sequences are shortened.” Google DeepMind’s Oriol Vinyals also it was explained that the video shows what “multimodal user experiences created with Gemini could look like.”

“Google is pleased to accept NAD’s resolution in this matter,” Google spokesman Gareth Evans said in a statement to Edge“The film is still available in conjunction with a blog post that explains how the demonstration in the film came about.” Here it is this blog postIf you want to read it.
