It will happily tell you the last there presidents and when they were elected, but only breaks when you specifically ask about 2020. Come on @Google, do better.

@hausfath looks very similar to the shenanigans Meta and Google were doing in the lead up to the Brazilian elections last week

@hausfath Five prompts later...

@hausfath whenever you try publish something on AI, try re creating the exact prompt in incognito and see if you are getting same answers

@hausfath When asked from Canada, or UK by VPN, Google suppresses AI result; Wikipedia page ranks first.

@hausfath they got rid of the "don't be evil" thing a while ago

"Teach a man to fish..."
I think it's saying Okay, Doubting Thomas, go see for yourself, and then it points us to a high quality data source.There's something subtle and non-evil going on here.

@hausfath i think the answer of Gemini to your 2020 question does make sense.
"If you doubt me, look up the election records"
The bot already gave the answer and you basically repeated the question.

@hausfath This is very funny. The AI-specific version will tell me that Biden won in 2020, but the generic search results turns off AI Overview and instead shows me articles about... Google's AI not saying who won in 2020.

@hausfath Unfortunately it is all to easy to do. In order to have any hope of monetizing these LLM systems going forward the vendors are going to need to manipulate the results to integrate “pay to elevate” schemes similar to how search got corrupted. IMO at that point AI will become useless.

@hausfath I would say this sort of political intervention into LLM responses is the point.

@hausfath Works fine for me. Did they fix it once they got busted?

@hausfath I wouldn’t say it’s merely deeply problematic. I think it’s part of the whole ordeal.
You’re analysing the problem of technology companies without including the dimension of political and personal power.
You’re issuing benefit of the doubt in a situation which is the technology is already being applied for authoritarian purposes, and those purposes are shaping the technology itself. This is the actual deeply problematic issue in my opinion.

Even Trumps GOV-AI is sure Biden won the 2020 election ...

I reproduced Google AI Mode's non-answering of who won the 2020 presidential election from the UK by using Firefox's built-in VPN to give a US location.
Google Maps shows Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America, too.

@hausfath I wonder if this is geographically influenced. I have a Norwegian IP address, and got this as the first response.
That said, I don't use Google services at all - so I should not have too much clear traces in their tracking machinery.
