Personally, I've given up on Gemini, as it seems to have been censored to the point of uselessness. I asked it yesterday [0] about C++ 20 Concepts, and it refused to give actual code because I'm under 18 (I'm 17, and AFAIK that's what the age on my Google account is set to). I just checked again, and it gave a similar answer [1]. When I tried ChatGPT 3.5, it did give an answer, although it was a little confused, and the code wasn't completely correct.
This seems to be a common experience, as apparently it refuses to give advice on copying memory in C# [2], and I tried to do what was suggested in this comment [3], but by the next prompt it was refusing again, so I had to stick to ChatGPT.
I'm with Gemini on this one, 17 years old is too young to be learning about unsafe C++ features, best stick with a memory safe language until you're old enough
I've gotten similar pushback. I asked for a solution involving curl and was told that that was not something Gemini could do. Then I clicked the button to see the other drafts of Gemini's responses and got two versions that worked.
Well that was easy [0]. The second draft also revealed something about the prompt [1]. It seems that the more verbose the prompt is, the less it wants to reveal [2] [3]. Unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to get it to reveal anything more, and it refuses to cooperate with me when I try the ‘Developer Mode’ prompt which used to work on ChatGPT [4].
