I spent some time asking Gemini directly what it could tell me about how it was programmed, what internal data Google uses it to train it, and what policy was used to determine what data was acceptable/unacceptable. You clearly hit a wall where someone programmed a bunch of hard stops about what it could talk about.
My problem is that I actually find Gemini really useful! I can ask Google to pull up directions to the closest, best Thai restaurant, and unlike the agony that was "voice assistants" Google will actually understand my question and return exactly what I am asking for with confidence.
It's a mysterious black box that is clearly being tampered with to gaslight me, and yet, I cannot deny it's utility. It's like letting Rasputin do my laundry.
