The Google device was able to deliver a detailed description of “The Nakba.”

Google is coming in for sharp criticism after video went viral of the Google Nest assistant refusing to answer basic questions about the Holocaust — but having no problem answer questions about the Nakba.

    Including a woman pope

    A woman was pope.* Thanks Persona 5 for teaching me that.

    • In popular culture. Joanna’s status as a real person is sketchy and possibly made up.

      Directly from the summary paragraph of the Wikipedia article you linked:

      The story was widely believed for centuries, but most modern scholars regard it as fictional.

        See my other comment. I’ve also edited my original one for clarity.

      Seems to be generally accepted to be a myth though? At least according to everything in that Wikipedia article

        My phrasing is not good, but my point is supposed to be that the idea of a female Pope isn’t so far fetched that “wokeness” is the only explanation for depicting one. The idea of Joanna is popular enough to be depicted in the works of art generative AI shamelessly plagiarized trains on, therefore it shouldn’t be a surprise.

        I will edit my original comment to make this more clear.
