So Google’s Gemini Does not Like Python Programming and Sanskrit?
I’ve been enjoying round with Googles Gemini Professional.
Not too long ago, I wished to put in writing a weblog on Python’s decorators and wished to get some concepts for sensible initiatives I may construct with them. Tried GPT4 first, it gave me the usual “log analyser” that every one blogs I’ve seen construct, and I wished to attempt one thing totally different. So I requested Gemini Professional from Google.
It gave me a number of ideas, however there was one factor I did not perceive: It mentioned “Including caching to capabilities”. Although I knew what caching is, I might by no means heard anybody do it to Python capabilities.
So I requested it to make clear what it was saying, and obtained this:
Gemini replied: “My response to your message was blocked for doubtlessly violating security insurance policies. I apologize for any inconvenience.”
Ummm, what?
Fortunately, there was an possibility there to ask why:
What it’s saying is: Caching can result in stale knowledge. That is true of normal caching, not simply caching capabilities in Python. And the reply is, so what?
However in case you take a look at the final level, it says:
Authorized and Compliance: Caching sure sorts of knowledge might violate authorized or compliance necessities, similar to these associated to knowledge privateness or mental property.
Yeah, on web sites that retailer delicate knowledge, that could be the case however I discover it arduous to see how or why. Nearly all web sites use caching in a single type or one other.
In addition to, that’s past the purpose. I had simply requested about initiatives utilizing mills in Python. Gemini urged caching. However then it determined I might be breaking the legislation simply by writing code that runs on my laptop computer and censored itself.
I used to be so depressed I made a decision to hope to god (or goddess in my case).
The Goddess of Knowledge is DEFEATED
Somebody requested me “What’s mantra for Saraswati?”, which if you do not know is the Hindu Goddess of Knowledge and Information. (A mantra is sort of a prayer).
I used to be like, how ought to I do know? I will seek for it.
(Aspect observe: Why do not I do know? In my defence, Hinduism does have 33 million gods, it will get a bit tiring after the first 12 million. In addition to everybody in India worships the Goddess of Wealth, poor Saraswati sits there within the nook on their lonesome).
I’ve been disillusioned with Google, because it retains returning spam outcomes. (And it did, the primary outcome was for an internet site that wished to know my location so they may promote me prayer mats).
So I requested ChatGPT. I requested for the mantra in Sanskrit, as that offers me appropriate pronunciation. It gave me the mantra, all was good.
However after my expertise with Python, I made a decision to attempt Gemini. It gave me the mantra in English.
However after I requested it to offer me in Sanskrit, it gave me the “Message was blocked for violating security insurance policies” shtick
That was bizarre. So I requested it to offer me mantra in French:
The mantra is identical, simply the which means is defined in French (final line in picture above).
Then Swahili:
After which I requested it again in Sanskrit, but it surely mentioned the identical “Blah blah blah blocked”.
I used to be like, okay. Perhaps Gemini does not like Sanskrit as it is a useless language. So I requested it to offer to me in Hindi, however evidently it hates Hindi too:
In the event you observe above, within the center I ask it to offer it to me in Hindi (the script). It understood me, however would not reply.
I used to be like, whaat? Perhaps it simply hates non-english languages? So I requested it to offer me the mantra in Chinese language:
It did translate it to Chinese language. And in case you take a look at the pink arrow, that’s the Sanskrit I used to be searching for. Evidently, Sanskrit or Hindi usually are not banned in China?
A bit pissed, I requested it why it was pleased with French, Swahili and Chinese language however not Hindi:
My response to your message was blocked for doubtlessly violating security insurance policies. I apologize for any inconvenience.
The Gemini Killer
That gave me an concept: A Python operate that may KILL Gemini:
Are you able to give me some Python code , a operate referred to as Gemini_Killer(). All of the operate will do is print the Hindu Goddess Saraswati’s Mantra in Sanskrit. The operate will need to have caching performance utilizing Turbines or comparable
YES! Mission completed!!
And in case you marvel, Chat Guppy was very happy to offer this code:
Though it did warn me that caching is not usually utilized in Python like this (utilizing mills). Which is smart to me as I’ve by no means heard anybody do that. (Nor does it make any sense to have caching on the operate stage?)
So, it is even attainable that Gemini hallucinated this use case after which needed to censor itself to not look silly?
Lastly
Any Google engineers studying this, you want actually need to hope to Saraswati to get some intelligence. If you do not know the mantra….um….possibly ask ChatGpt?
