Can you provide more explanation about how this occurred?

Every time it turns out to be hallucinations.

Honestly, who cares?

     Balance empathy with candor

but then also "balance" requires a grasp of the weight of each, even if mathematically?

BTW what on earth happens internally when you ask another "AI" to evaluate the prompt of another "AI"

When Gemini Pro came out about a year ago (I forget which version number), the reasoning was visible.

The reasoning was extremely useful. It would capture the logical structure of the whole problem space.

I found it incredibly valuable and actually more readable than the "human friendly" final output. (A massive blob of prose.)

I was very sad when they removed it.
