That's brave. I can't help but wonder what dystopian things happen to our data behind the scenes, and what processing/blocks exist to display a different reality of the situation to us.

One scenario could be if they nudge it into answering the above question incorrectly, to encourage the user to correct it, especially where it triggers an emotional response. For example, getting their basic details wrong along with sexuality.

I meant to ask Gemini what it knows about you as a test to see if it has personalization on and if it is looking at your drive or email.

Gemini- if it knows anything about you- would be employing some sort of RAG- I didn't mean this as a test of what Google knows about you overall.
