Personally, I've given up on Gemini, as it seems to have been censored to the point of uselessness. I asked it yesterday [0] about C++ 20 Concepts, and it refused to give actual code because I'm under 18 (I'm 17, and AFAIK that's what the age on my Google account is set to). I just checked again, and it gave a similar answer [1]. When I tried ChatGPT 3.5, it did give an answer, although it was a little confused, and the code wasn't completely correct.
This seems to be a common experience, as apparently it refuses to give advice on copying memory in C# [2], and I tried to do what was suggested in this comment [3], but by the next prompt it was refusing again, so I had to stick to ChatGPT.

- Breza 3y agoI've gotten similar pushback. I asked for a solution involving curl and was told that that was not something Gemini could do. Then I clicked the button to see the other drafts of Gemini's responses and got two versions that worked.
- wrasee 3y agoFrom your first link [0] > Concepts are an advanced feature of C++ that introduces potential risks, and I want to prioritize your safety. Brilliant.
- GaryNumanVevo 3y agoI'm with Gemini on this one, 17 years old is too young to be learning about unsafe C++ features, best stick with a memory safe language until you're old enough
- needlesslygrim 3y agoLuckily I only really muck about with C++, and mainly use Rust, so my childlike brain is protected :^)
- AaronFriel 3y agoIf you can dig in further - prompt engineer out - the prompt for minors that would be fascinating to report out.
- needlesslygrim 3y agoI'll see what I can do, but I don't expect I'll achieve much.
- needlesslygrim 3y agoWell that was easy [0]. The second draft also revealed something about the prompt [1]. It seems that the more verbose the prompt is, the less it wants to reveal [2] [3]. Unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to get it to reveal anything more, and it refuses to cooperate with me when I try the ‘Developer Mode’ prompt which used to work on ChatGPT [4].
