Gemini advanced is terrible.

I asked it to rephrase "Are the original stated objectives still relevant?"

It's starts going on about Ukraine and Russia.

I think it took the whole context of the converstion into consideration, you should create a new converstaion instead and see if it responds differently.

Or you could be more specific, like "Rephrase the following sentence: 'Are the original stated objectives still relevant?' in a formal way, respond with one option only."

It was a new conversation. I've never mentioned Russia or Ukraine in any conversation ever.

That's so weird, yet interesting. What happens if you open a new convo again and enter the same prompt?

Now it gives a normal answer. I rated the response as 'Bad Response' so maybe that had an impact.

I thought I wouldn't but I'm getting really, really confused with the naming and branding of what Gemini is a model and which is a product. Advanced, Pro, Ultra, seemingly Pro is getting better than Ultra? And Advanced is the product using the Ultra underlying model?

Ugh, my brain.

I've read this sentence three times, wow what horrible branding.
