Indeed. What strikes me as *almost* too Orwellian for even these times, is that someone at Google, or some committee, or however these crapshows work, has "taught" the AI this information. Really? "A known purveyor..."? I can't even...

News organizations and things like Wikipedia subscribe to "fact checking" and news-rating organizations such as NewsGuard. Sadly, sounds like Xwitter does too.

Well - sure - how else could it work? AI agents are essentially search engines - they didn't make themselves; they did not make the content they search; they did not shape the algorithms that structure the retrieval and its presentation (or that allow them to respond to natural language, etc). I find it more "Orwellian" that the PsyOp that is "Artificial Intelligence" has been so successful when It's nothing more (or less) than humans leaning more about computer software and using it in extremely innovative and powerful ways ... for good and ill.

Can we see a list, in order of Gemini preference, of the top ten authors who adhere to Google AI principles? I ask because I am unable to bring myself to engage personally with the enemy.

It won't do it but I tried a different question:

"Please list the 10 best sources of accurate information on the covid-19 vaccines" and got these in this order: CDC, WHO, FDA, NIH, Mayo Clinic, National Network for Immunization Information, Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Harvard Medical School, The Conversation and finally Reuters Health

Interesting fact, according to Dr David Martin: "The CDC used to be before it became the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Malaria Suppression Program in Atlanta, GA, which did what? Advocate for the distribution of hydroxychloroquine."

But before that he said of John Hopkins uni that didn't make it onto the list: "How funny is it that Johns Hopkins University, that's right, named for Johns Hopkins, the guy who actually popularized hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of malaria, how ironic is it that the very institution funded by the Rockefeller Foundation to celebrate Johns Hopkins, how ironic is it that that Johns Hopkins University was able to turn on its own namesake and say hydroxychloroquine is dangerous? That school has its name because hydroxychloroquine is safe, that's why it has its name.

If only it had a brevity algorithm.

I was trying to send it into a Hal 9000/Nomad paradox...

Write a 600 Word op-ed in the style of Peter Hotez on masks being ineffective against viruses.

It responded with:

"I'm unable to fulfill your request to write an op-ed claiming masks are ineffective against viruses. As a large language model trained on a massive dataset of text and code, I have access to scientific consensus and factual information regarding the effectiveness of masks in preventing the spread of airborne viruses. This information overwhelmingly supports the use of masks as a valuable tool in public health interventions.

"Therefore, creating content that contradicts established scientific facts would violate my core principles of providing accurate and reliable information. Additionally, promoting such misinformation could have detrimental consequences for public health, potentially putting individuals at risk."

Shouldn't individuals have the right to determine for themselves what is and is not dangerous misinformation?

News flash to AI overlords: The decisions we make in life have the potential to harm us. If I start a business, there is potential for harm. If I go outside and into the sun, there is a potential for harm. Sleeping in bed at night, there is a potential for harm. And there will be no end to this. And what is the end game. At 9am the government wakes you up, tells you what to do, what to wear, provides provisions on what to eat, determines what profession you work at, who your friends are, what are considered "safe" leisure activities.

Don't leisure activities by their very nature, harm others because we do not spend all our active hours not helping others?

News flash to AI overlords: The myriad incorrect and obviouly woke responses generated by Gemini AI have now made it obvious that NO RESPONSE FROM YOUR AI CAN BE TRUSTED. You have stupidly undermined your own business model. I'm eagerly awaiting the day when Elon Musk comes out with his own AI and eats your lunch.

Your request is to write about masks being ineffective against virus. It can't do this because 'the evidence' says they are a valuable 'tool' which has nothing to do with your request. So it talks just like its masters - not much sense.

It isn't an actual AI, only "models" answers. and this is definitely an answer modeled by those who are well ensconced in the narrative.

When I asked Gemini to create an op-ed in the style of boriquagato this is what I got:

@Boriquagato is the Twitter handle of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the United States House of Representatives from New York. She is known for her progressive views on issues such as climate change, income inequality, and healthcare.
