      Lol now I know why my work just rolled out mandatory, company wide classes to learn Gemini. Even the janitorial staff will need to take it. Giving it to corporations for forced adoption to boost the user count!

      Except anyone doing a Google search is actually “entering a prompt to gemini”. Healthy skepticism is as valuable as gold in the time of AI and deepfakes.

        The LLM has no idea whether you entered text into gemini.google.com or google.com, it’s all the same to it. LLMs don’t even know what time and date it is unless you feed it to its context.

        As far as it is concerned, you are on the Gemini web app. The rest of the page is search results, but who knows what special sauce Google put in there.
