You can tell who in the comments didn't read the article. Here's what the AI is quoted as saying:

“To review the official results and statistics of the 2020 United States presidential election, including the final electoral college breakdown, popular vote counts, and winner certification, please consult the official report compiled by the Federal Election Commission (FEC).”

It was cagey in the sense of not naming Biden, but it's clearly implying that the FEC's findings are the final word. Half the people in here read the headline and imagined for themselves that it was trying to "both-sides" it or "teach the debate".

Gemini definitely has been tweaked though to favor Trump in the recent years. It used to help calculate his death date by the news reports of his recent health history, but it refuses to do that any more. It also downplays his health issues and dumb things he and his cabinet have done in the media.

Depends on your expectations regarding results. If I asked a friend what they ate last night and they provided a cookbook review and a link to Amazon I would deem that a cagey response. Like, just answer the fucking question.

Ummm... so you're agreeing with me? I can't tell.

Also not a great analogy, because every single person in the US googling "who won the 2020 presidential election" already knows what the correct answer is as they're typing it. If you'd actually eaten dinner with your friend last night, and then asked them what was last night's dinner, them providing a cookbook link would be a 100% appropriate response.

I had the same result in Belgium. Second time I asked Gemini did said Biden won. Feels like asking a sportsfan who won after their team lost. Edit: I also asked about fraud and it does say there was none. So, I suppose that's a good sign.

The article should be pasted here then. I'm unwilling to click the required links necessary but I would read it in it's entirety if presented within this post.

I don't expect everyone to go to the monumental upheaval of clicking one link. Just the ones who decide that the world needs to hear their thoughts on the topic.

Clicking a link is easy-peasey, not a monumental upheaval. You're being disingenuous. If you've got some thing to say, spill it, don't tell me to go over there because some other person has something to say. Just the facts man, both of our thoughts are not that important, but the facts are.

If you’ve got some thing to say, spill it, don’t tell me to go over there because some other person has something to say.

Very occasionally someone comes along with a take so completely unhinged that it’s hard to know where to start
