Dear Americans. I use Gemini as a reading assistant for non fiction books. Currently I am reading The origins of totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt and I was asking about parallels in modern US society. I noticed something odd. While questions about historical facts are answered definitively and accurately, questions relating to January 6th are answered with some sort of “,oh well people don’t agree” garbage.
After a long dialogue about it and asking what the scholarly consensus was, I finally got the correct answer.
I just wanted to raise this because it looks sus to me in a big way but maybe I am overreacting? It felt like gas lighting. Also practically nobody in the free world is under any illusion of what January 6 was.
Could you please share query terms? Other LLM users have commented you have to use certain specific search parameters or goad them into answering honestly. Tyia
I just asked the same thing that the OP did. Oops, I guess my exact verbiage DID deviate a bit. I used the numeral for 6 and specified in the US. Other than this, I don’t have any other settings or changes to have it respond to me in a specific way. Like I said, I don’t use it often.I don’t live in the US, though, so maybe that is a factor as well?
I don’t live in the US either.
The wording is slightly different. I wonder what made the actual difference?
