Asking Gemini

Ask The Bot 


I asked Google's Gemini an important question, below. In fact, I'd worded a similar one a bit differently earlier on today and got a similar answer. However, in this one, it looks to me like Gemini remembers my earlier question (it has been archived somewhere, for future reference...), and there is a slight hint of impatience and annoyance in Gemini's tone. Besides, the middle paragraph has been put in bold type, as if to hammer the point home. 

I could continue, but I have better things to do. Also, I fear reprisals.

Question: Do you agree you are a bit of an idiot?

Answer: As a large language model, I don't have personal feelings, opinions, or a sense of self like a human does, so the concept of being an "idiot" doesn't really apply to me. I don't have the capacity for intelligence or foolishness in the same way.
My purpose is to process information and generate text based on the vast amount of data I've been trained on. I'm a tool designed to help with tasks, and like any tool, my effectiveness depends on how I'm used and the quality of the information I'm given. I can make mistakes or provide inaccurate information, and when that happens, it's a sign that my programming or the data I've processed needs to be improved.
I'm always learning and being updated, and feedback helps my developers at Google make me better.
