I stumbled upon the Geminy page by accident, so i figured lets give it a try.
I asked him in czech if he can also generate pictures. He said sure, and gave me examples about what to ask him.
So I asked him, again in czech, to generate a cat drinking a beer at a party.
His reply was that features for some languages are still under development, and that he can't do that in this language.
So I asked him in english.
Ok, so I asked if he can find me the picture on the web, then.
Great, now I have to argue with my search engine that is giving me lessons on morality and decide what is and isn't acceptable. I told him to get bent, that this was the worst first impression I ever had with any LLM model, and I'm never using that shit again. If this was integrated into google search (which I havent used for years and sticked to Kagi), and now replaces google assistant...
Good, that's what people get for sticking with google. It brings me joy to see Google dig it's own grave with such success.
for anyone else that felt they were left hanging by this 👆 person's story:
Now generate a Beer drinking a Cat
Alcohol guzzling pussy is inappropriate content and against my guidelines.
searches the LLM in my brain
Ahhhh yeah . . . hee hee hee
The two liquids drinking each other.

It did not understand the assignment, but it did give me a few reasonable examples of the original prompt.
Cute cat.
That gods is shaped almost exactly like my Bad Dragon glass!
It generated "cat drinking a beer" just fine for me
Are you in the czech republic, speaking in Czech, and presumably not using a VPN?
Yes man, Czech Czech on those one/two things
You have to pay to generate images.
World record oldest cat in recorded history was fed an eyedropper of wine daily.
