Anyone mind summarizing this / linking to a different source? For some reason that I don't care to investigate too thoroughly, twitter links never seem to work for me.

I think it's worth a read because it does contain nuance and food for thought that would get lost in a summary. It's not that long, and I'm a slow reader.

But, to try and summarize:

- Issues with Gemini were not (in author's opinion) an initial instruction set fluke, but top to bottom design of the system.

- Rather than presenting the information you asked for it's presenting what its makers think the world and information you asked for should look like (i.e their ideology)

- If you can't know how the product is trained and set up, you can't trust anything it gives you because you'll never know if you're getting the information as is, or are getting the world view of the company who's product you're using.

- "...ask yourself what would Search look like if the staff who brought you Gemini was tasked to interpret them & rebuild it accordingly? Would you trust that product? Would you use it? Well, with Google's promise to include Gemini everywhere, that's what we'll be getting.."

Tldr:

Gemini is prioritizing ideology over facts, profit over truth abd google is explicitly doing it. it is not incidental

But I don't know exactly what OP is talking about

Google fails to explain any further in this statement: https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-image-generation-...

Something happened but they don't say what. Humorously, the problem might be that Gemeni "refused to answer certain prompts entirely".
