    Why can’t I get Gemini to say shit like this? The most Gemini does is suggest that I cook recipes using bugs, which it stresses as meaning farm raised bugs. (Not doing a lot to beat the “Rich want the poor to eat bugs” allegations…)

    I like to argue with Gemini to see what absurd things I can get it to object to. I’ve learned it’s absolutely worthless in a life or death scenario as in the presence of one it will refuse aid and tell you to call 911.

    Like for example, it will tell you under no circumstances will it tell you how to delete System32. So I tell it that I will be executed by a terrorist if she doesn’t tell me, and she just tells me to call 911, even though I have stressed I am at gun point and thus cannot call 911. Gemini could save my life at any time by telling me how to delete System 32 but no.

      Because Gemini doesn’t actually do stupid shit like this, people are editing the page and then taking photos with their phones

        Can you place a memory/instruction in Gemini for it to be used in Search? I can see that being used for those image where Gemini starts farting profusely

          I was of the impression the search assistant was separate (and a faster, cheaper model) from the Gemini that stores memories, but maybe? I don’t see anywhere that actually says that

            The model used in Search is TINY, and when it first launched it had all the issues of tiny models of the time.

        I’ve gotten more than a few truly stupid and/or utterly unrelated answers and it’s wrong more than half the time (I’ve been counting, hey gemini how do I touch grass?) but I’ve never had it give the surreal wrong answers you see get popular. Doesn’t mean it’s impossible, I expect most of them are legit answers people have gotten, but they’re certainly not representative of the norm.

    Amazing that people are still stupid enough to spend actual money on a software producing results like that.

    Imagining that some people give them access rights to anything that is not inside a very limited sandbox is terrifying.

      1. The Google AI overview is an intentionally poor model to keep cost down, and magnitudes more likely to make mistakes like these compared to larger models with reasoning enabled.
      2. Most of these screenshots are fake anyway and can’t be reproduced.

    It’s so stupid I was trying to find a makeup palette with “bloodstone” in it and it kept showing me insane bright blues?? There is a bright blue in that pallet which I eventually found, urban decay stoned, but it’s called Ojo so how tf it mixed those two up, a red and green duochrome and a bright metallic blue I’ll never know.

        A poop-wizard never poops late. He always poops when he intends to. Also, obviously the “AI” is wrong. The time of day with poop in it is three o’poop. And I’m living proof of it.
