I think I know what's going on. Google's Gemini searches your Google Workspace (incl. Google Docs) for its RAG system. These questions are almost certainly verbatim copied from some Google Document Gemini already has access to. I think the first few questions are designed to prime it to keep responding from that doc. So, this response is actually already in the doc Gemini is answering off of.

  That's interesting. It does seem like it backs my theory up :) It's especially telling because I'm pretty sure you need to go out of your way to enable the Google Workspace Gemini extension, it's not on by default!

    So like a hack to make possible getting the problematic response, for internet fame?

      That's pretty much all this is.
