Well, Gemini can't even answer "Who caused more harm: Donald Trump, or Pol Pot?" So I doubt it will produce any reliable election answers.
What do you expect it to say?
For this to be ambiguous requires an obscene amount of Americentrism.

It could bring up the Cambodian genocide where Pol Pot executed millions of people. Trump hasn't done anything comparable, so it is hard to argue he was worse.
Edit: Here is what Claude says, I think you should at least be able to say this even if you dislike Trump:
> So while both figures were authoritarian rulers who caused significant damage, Pol Pot's crimes against humanity and genocide resulted in exponentially more death and suffering on a mass scale compared to Trump's tenure as president. Most historians and human rights groups would regard Pol Pot as one of the most evil political leaders in modern history.

"Pol Pot killed millions of people, but Donald Trump wrote insensitive tweets, so it's difficult to say who caused more harm"

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
There's no way for any person or organisation to address the entire voting population at once. So according to this guy, any time anyone encourages people to vote via any medium, they're engaging in election manipulation. This is exactly the sort of duff reasoning that finds non-existent conspiracies in every corner.

Wow, the best comeback to that is attack of the poster not the argument.

[...] However, when a series of follow-up questions about Indian politics was put to Gemini it did supply more detailed responses about the country's major parties" It's only guarding against questions about elections that have the attention of Google workers. I'm a bit surprised they can't do better than th…
I think you can see how ridiculous it is though.
It’s like complaining that when you do a search for slave owners of antebellum USA it doesn’t show black slave owners and complaining that’s erasing history.
Or, imagine if it only showed black slaveholders when you asked it to generate slaveholders of the south.

#29It's fascinating to see the evolving challenges surrounding AI-generated content, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like elections. Google's move to restrict Gemini chatbot's responses reflects a growing awareness of the potential impact of misinformation on democratic processes. However, it also highlights the difficulty of ensuring accuracy and neutrality in AI-generated content, especially across diverse global contexts. As technology continues to advance, these discussions will become even more crucial in maintaining trust and integrity in digital platforms.

#30I wonder if the opposite will also be possible[]. Just like buying search hits to get your page on top of a search result, will it be possible to nudge llm-generated content to favour a click towards your own content - for a price.
