I asked Gemini to format some URLs into an XML format. It got halfway through and gave up. I asked if it truncated the output, and it said yes and then told _me_ to write a python script to do it.
- GoToRO 1y agoThat's a different kind of push back.
- walls 1y agoThis is my most common experience with Gemini. Ask it to do something, it'll tell you how you can do it yourself and then stop.
- edoloughlin 1y agoGiven that Gemini seems to have frequent availability issues, I wonder if this is a strategy to offload low-hanging fruit (from a human-effort pov) to the user. If it is, I think that's still kinda impressive.
- ASalazarMX 1y agoSomehow I like this. I hate that current LLMs act like yes-men, you can't trust them to give unbiased results. If it told me my approach is stupid, and why, I would appreciate it.
- chipsrafferty 1y agoI just asked ChatGPT to help me design a house where the walls are made of fleas and it told me the idea is not going to work, and also has ethical concerns.
- ASalazarMX 1y agoI tried it with a Gemini personality that uses this kind of attack, and since that kind of prompt strongly encourages it to provide a working answer, it decided that the fleas were a metaphor about botnet clients, and the walls were my network, all so it could give an actionable answer. I inadvertently made a stronger yes-man.
- queenkjuul 1y agoOn the one hand, it did better than chatgpt at understanding what i wanted and actually transforming my data On the other, truncating my dataset halfway through is nearly as worthless as not doing it at all (and i was working with a single file, maybe hundreds of kilobytes)
