I was watching the RFK Jr questioning today and when Bernie was talking about healthcare and wages I felt he was the only one who gave a real damn. I also thought “Wow he’s kinda old” so I asked my phone how old he actually was. Gemini however, wouldnt answer a simple, factual question about him. What the hell? (The answer is 83 years old btw, good luck america)
This may be an unpopular opinion (though I doubt it), but I think this is good. I don’t want people making opinions about politics based on AI output. In the best case, it isn’t reliable. In the worst case, it’ll make things up and lead people to false conclusions. If you want the information then it’s out there. Don’t rely on LLMs to give accurate information, especially on current events.
Kinda difficult to have an AI with those restrictions because anything is politicized depending on your pov- just getting information and using science is considered politics in 2025. That said, AIs need to do a better job sourcing their info of people are using them to search so it’s at least traceable. Chances are most of this info is just from Wikipedia but they should do track it better
Well, seeing as they’re just LLMs and not intelligent, yeah that would be too restrictive for any of this crap. I agree. That’s fine with me.
This doesn’t stop people from letting Gemini control their political opinion.
But Google making Gemini not able to talk about progressivism definitely makes sure those political opinions won’t be progressive.
Sure, but this is clearly any politician, not just Bernie. It can’t talk about Trump either.
