It'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 divers…
For how many subjects does "accuracy and neutrality" even exist, let alone be a reasonable goal?
I'm not sure it's intentional, but your comment reads as, "Our politicians have learned misinformation is bad for politics and want it out of the process!" That's a pretty generous interpretation: these politicians have and are continuing to intentionally use misinformation as a weapon in our elections. They don't want it gone, they want it skewed to their side.
This sounds sane to me. I don't think people in general have a good understanding of how these generative AI products produce their answers, and I think many would assume hallucinated information to be true. This is bad in all cases, but certainly misinformation in the democratic process is up there with the worst. Of course, perhaps more importantly for Google, it's a PR disaster waiting to happen when Gemini starts…
So many commenters saying, "misinformation is bad, it needs to go!"
Some of the greatest threats we've seen in the past few years have been from politicians claiming things were misinformation that were not. How do you propose we deal with that?
AGI has been Larry and Sergei's pipe dream since Google's inception. Now that we can make out the faint outline of something resembling AGI, we can also see clearly that Google can't handle the responsibility. I'm not sure anyone can.

What do you expect it to say?
Is this the cambonian version of holocaust denial?
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?
And people wonder why we are in the state we are in. American politics have completely destroyed some people's minds.

Sure. Here is a deposition that goes fairly in-depth: https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Epstein%20Tes...
Some of this is plainly ridiculous, e.g. the last sentence of the following: >On Election Day in 2018, the “Go Vote” reminder Google displayed on its home page gave one political party between 800,000 and 4.6 million more votes than it gave the other party. Those numbers might seem impossible, but I published my analysis in January 2019 ( https://is.gd/WCdslm ) (Epstein, 2019a), and it is quite conservative. Google’s…
Or, is it "plainly ridiculous" to think that Google started on their version of political correctness when they built Gemini, but not before?
The Twitter Files revealed how much the FBI and CIA have their hands in social media. The biggest data source on the planet was untouched?
