Google has decided to unlist an impressive Gemini demo video after inquiries from the National Advertising Division (NAD) regarding its portrayal of Gemini's performance. The video showcased Gemini responding to user prompts but included disclaimers indicating that latency had been reduced and outputs were shortened for brevity, suggesting that the demo might not accurately reflect real-world performance. Google clarified that the video was meant to illustrate potential multimodal user experiences, and they accepted NAD's resolution by removing the video.
In response to the inquiry from the NAD, Google ended its promotion of the Gemini demo video which had displayed highly conversational capabilities. The National Advertising Division questioned whether the video accurately depicted Gemini's performance as it showcased quick responses to voice prompts, albeit with disclaimers in the description that hinted at the manipulated nature of the demo.
Oriol Vinyals from Google DeepMind noted that the Gemini video aimed to show potential user experiences that could be achieved with the platform. However, the disclaimers present in the video, such as reduced latency and shortened sequences, imply limitations in the actual performance compared to what was demonstrated in the promotional material, raising concerns about transparency in advertising.
The NAD received a statement from Google stating that the company was 'pleased to accept NAD's resolution of this matter.' This indicates that Google is taking steps to comply with advertising standards regarding the accuracy of promotional content and its implications for users.
