When I tried asking Gemini questions about elections and current politicians, it generally refuses. Sometimes the “other drafts” includes links to Wikipedia to find the information. But it’s never the standard answer, and only for minor political offices.
This feels like a really disappointing way to address election interference and avoid news cycles. Google has dealt with political issues in maps for years, and this is just going to stoke the flames of election denial.
- itsdrewmiller 2y agoWow, it's not just current politicians - it refuses to tell me who the first US president was, or define the word "election".
- mensetmanusman 2y ago“Define election?! Are you trying to start a civil war?” That people think this is safe AI is hilarious:)
- TechRemarker 2y agoThat's wild and crazy, though understand where they are coming from. That is, there is so much that can go wrong without restrictions around elections. And so they are putting a blanket band, they could go in an manually add exceptions for things like this, but then people may find work arounds through those exceptions or more likely, people will say why does it allow X but not the endless "Y"s they didn't think about manually excluding or getting called bias for excluded A but not B. Hopefully next election that have something more nuanced.
