The Scotland link in the grandparent post is to a picture of 2 people, 1 white, 1 black. 1 is not large numbers. Look, Gemini is clearly doing some weird stuff. But going all "look what crazy thing it did" for this specific image

I intentionally start searches on Bing and have it set as default. But half of the time that I type anything to it it's because the browser didn't autocomplete like I expected. So when I do want to see goggles results for the same
