Sen. Tom Cotton torches Google AI system as 'racist, preposterously woke, Hamas-sympathizing'

Radio host Tommy Sotomayor reacts to artificial intelligence images rewriting history, on'Jesse Watters Primetime.' Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., slammed Google's AI chatbot Gemini as "preposterously woke" on Friday for its refusal to produce any images of White people. The company paused the chatbot's image generation on Thursday after social media users pointed out that the system was creating inaccurate historical images that sometimes replaced White people, like the Founding Fathers, with images of Black, Native American and Asian people. "Google deserves condemnation for creating a racist, preposterously woke, Hamas-sympathizing AI system," Cotton said in a statement on X, formerly Twitter. "Republican lawmakers will remember this the next time Google comes asking for antitrust help."
