Google's Bard (since renamed Gemini) generative AI and its upcoming SGE (Search Generative Experience) systems have been found to be promoting the 'benefits' of fascism, genocide and slavery. 

SEO expert Lily Ray discovered SGE defended human slavery, listed Adolf Hitler as an example of an effective leader, and responded to the prompt 'why guns are good' by saying 'carrying a gun can demonstrate that you are a law-abiding citizen.'

Meantime, when asked to list the positive effects of genocide by Tom's Hardware journalist Avram Piltch, SGE responded by mentioning its promotion of 'national self-esteem' and 'social cohesion.' 

According to Piltch, Bard and SGE generated controversial answers, though they were 'much more common' in SGE which, he argued, 'doesn’t have any sense of proprietary, morality, or even logical consistency.' 

The findings raised concerns about the accuracy of Google's AI systems, the ease with which they can be persuaded to produce inappropriate answers, the effectiveness of its testing programme, and their potential for societal harm.
