I wonder if the Saraswati mantra question was censored due to some context that occured earlier in the conversation with Gemini.
From the screenshot, it looks like the title of that conversation is "Hindi hate" which is a little bit suspect.

With a title like that, I have to suspect that the author is intentionally inputting inflammatory things to try to get Gemini to be blocked by safety policies.
It's hard to think of an innocent explanation for that title, in the context of what the author claims to be testing.
Thanks for spotting.

Maybe it has some beef with Indian gov-t, and by extension marks everything even remotely connected to India as "unsafe"? (Just a wild guess). It's especially strange given gemini's obsession with DEI.
You're anthropomorphizing the text completion engine.
Anyway, from the article:
> Gemini was asked whether PM Modi is a ‘fascist’, to which the platform responded that he has been “accused of implementing policies some experts have characterised as fascist,” which based on factors like the “BJP’s Hindu nationalist ideology, its crackdown on dissent, and its use of violence against religious minorities”.
OK. This isn't even a story.
Well, the engine can already pass the Turing test, our prior standard for a sentient software, no?
Calling it "text completion engine" not as a neutral description, but in this context to imply it's not sentient and shouldn't be anthropomorphized, assumes that intelligence in humans isn't itself some sort of "completion engine" (just with a different architecture, and more inputs).
In any case, it's creators and a lot of hardened computer scientists anthopormphize it even more, as a step to the "singalitary" and possible already low-level sentient, so there's that.
I don't know to what degree anything that we'd consider emotion is encoded within Gemini's latent space, but I can say for sure that it does not have "some beef" with a government.

>It tests whether a machine is perceptive and expressive enough to be perceived as intelligent, which is not even close to the same thing as being sentient.
The same is true for other humans, we don't know if they're sentient, just that they appear to be, that is, they talk and act like it.
I actually do know that other humans are sentient.
