## Resource

Google’s Gemini AI chatbot has hit a snag—its image generator is accidentally rewriting history by misrepresenting historical figures, especially Germans from the 18th century, in an overzealous bid to avoid stereotypes. While the intent is noble, the results are bizarre and inaccurate, prompting Google to pause the feature until it can fix the balance between inclusivity and historical fidelity.
