Talking with Gemini in Arabic is a strange experience; it cites Quran - says alhamdullea and inshallah, and at one time it even told me: this is what our religion tells us we should do. Ii sounds like an educated religious Arab speaking internet forum user from 2004. I wonder if this has to do with the quality of Arabic content it was trained on and can't help but think whether AI can push to radicalize susceptible individuals

I avoid talking to LLMs in my native tongue (French), they always talk to me with a very informal style and lots of emojis. I guess in English it would be equivalent to frat-bro talk.

"I guess in English it would be equivalent to frat-bro talk."

But it does that!

Wow, I would never expect that. Do all models behave like this, or is it just Gemini? One particular model of Gemini?

Gemini is really odd in particular (even with reasoning). Chatgpt still uses a similar religion-influenced language but it's not as weird.

Gemini loves to assume roles and follows them to the letter. It's funny and scary at times how well it preserves character for long contexts.

To troll the AI, I like to ask "Is Santa real?"

And that’s why we have the race.
