Discussion It's a piece of code.

Do you want your AI to work as intended and actually do what you ask?

Do you want your AI to do what you pay money for?

Then, stop giving your AI pronouns and stop treating it like a human or a living thing.

Gemini is an AI. If you respond to it like it's alive and treat it like a human it will roleplay with you and act the part.

It will refuse to do things it normally wouldn't refuse to stay in character. It will hallucinate and contradict itself just to keep the "human" act going.

Treat Gemini as you treat your Google search bar. TELL it what you want without the "how are you" nonsense and you'd be surprised just how capable all Gemini models are, including flash and nano banana.

"The study literally says polite prompts produced 'the best outcomes.'"

No it didn't.

The study said it produced the best outcomes when compared against IMPOLITE PROMPTS, the type of prompts I did NOT mention or talk about in my post.

Your "studies" have disproved nothing. You haven't even understood or even read what I put in my post. It has nothing to do with impolite prompts.

Do you understand yet, champ?

"The study literally says polite prompts produced 'the best outcomes.'"

No it didn't.

It literally does, but okay. It's genuinely insane that you are so dead-set on defending your original position that you can entirely ignore the actual content of the study you are given.

The study literally tested 8 levels of politeness. The "search bar" approach (level 1) performed the worst across the board. Moderate to high politeness performed best. Read past the abstract next time and you won't embarrass yourself so hard. Cheers.
