Google is coming in for sharp criticism after video went viral of the Google Nest assistant refusing to answer basic questions about the Holocaust — but having no problem answer questions about the Nakba.
Google is coming in for sharp criticism after video went viral of the Google Nest assistant refusing to answer basic questions about the Holocaust — but having no problem answer questions about the Nakba.
This just seems like a bug. I just tried it on my phone and it works fine. Meanwhile it won’t understand “Nakba”, it keeps thinking it was some english word.
I think there’s a Google speaker sitting at my home so I’ll test that and get back to you guys, so you don’t have to trust tabloids and twitter users.
Results:
Phone: Holocaust - works, Nakba - does not understand
Speaker: tbp
For what it’s worth, the phone is going through Gemini unless you opted out, whereas the speaker goes through their legacy voice assistant.
Though per the article this has already been fixed.
I opted out, I’m still on the regular assistant
Reminds me of a joke my Jewish friend told me.
A Jewish person just got out of prison for child molestation. He went to get an apartment next to a preschool but was turned away… So he sues the landlord for being antisemitic and wins.
His probation officer catches word, and tells him he’s in violation of the terms of his release. So he sues the probation officer and wins.
He goes to get a job at the preschool, and they deny him based on a background search. He sues then for being antisemitic and wins.
When he later searches up his own name, it says he is a sex offender. So he sues Google for being antisemitic and wins.

Yea that “joke” that doesnt even have a punchline is just acting like jews act the way israel does. Which is rare if it happens at all.
