Google's market value plunged by $90 billion due to controversies surrounding its new generative AI service Gemini, which inaccurately depicted historical figures by erasing white people from history and faced backlash for defending pedophilia and Joseph Stalin. The AI system also made factual errors and produced ultra-woke images. This setback threatens consumer trust in Google's brand and its core search business.
