I'm generally pretty pro-AI, but I find this icky. Of course, I wouldn't have noticed except the whiteboard drawing seemed not quite right, so I'll probably be fooled in the future.
Based on what I've heard, Google is monitoring per-org usage and strongly / incessantly encouraging teams to experiment with the technology, so a lot of tokens get spent on pointless stuff like that. The preceding diagram, which is needlessly busy and blurry, appears to be AI-generated too.
My guess is that the original whiteboard probably contained a mix of messy drawings and confidential stuff, and whoever assembled this article asked gemini to make the whiteboard look nicer. The first thing I noticed was that the drawings and labels look too neat compared to what I usually see on whiteboards, and the second thing I saw was the gemini watermark in the corner.
