I'm all for letting people of all backgrounds having an equal work/representation opportunity but this ai went too far.

What I am against is taking official / past figures such as u.s presidents and race swapping them. These are real people who were white. Sorry if it offends someone but that's just how it was.

At this point we are putting dei even over who use to govern the u.s as offical presidents? Why? Who does this help? If anything you make people with legit purposes hate dei more by doing this. Imagine if they did that to president Obama people would be sticking it to Google 10 times harder then they are now.

So what you're saying is that a white actor should always be cast to play any character that was originally white whether they are the best actor or not?

Keep in mind historical figures are largely white because of systemic racism and in your scenario the film and television industry would have to purposefully double down on the discrimination that empowered those people to meet your requirements.

I'm not defending Google's ham fisted approach. But at the same time it's a great reinforcement of the reality that Large Language Models cannot and should not be relied upon for accurate information. LLMs are just as ham fisted for accurate information as Google's approach to diversity in LLMs.
