You are getting far too philosophical for how over the top ham fisted Gemini was. If your only interaction with this is via TheVerge article linked, I understand. But the examples going around Twitter this week were comically poor.

Were Germans in the 1800s Asian, Native American and Black? Were the founding fathers all non-White? Are country musicians majority non-White? Are drill rap musicians 100% Black women? Etc

The system prompt was artificially injecting diversity that didn't exist in the training data (possibly OK if done well).. but only in one direction.

If you asked for a prompt which the training data is majority White, it would inject majority non-White or possibly 100% non-White results. If you asked for something where the training data was majority non-White, it didn't adjust the results unless it was too male, and then it would inject female, etc.

Politically its silly, and as a consumer product its hard to understand the usefulness of this.
