Gemini refused to provide any suggestions about implementing a serial connection in a non-standard way for some hardware I own because I ran the risk of “damaging my hardware” or producing buggy code.

Copilot pulled something similar on me when I asked for some assistance with some other third party code for the same hardware - presented a fading out message (article paywall style) with some ethical AI disclaimer. Thought this one was particularly strange - almost like a request from either the third party or the original manufacturer.

God I hope we don't end up in a world where LLM's are required to take an ideological stance on things like software architecture or testing paradigms

In the case of software I can still laugh and shrug my shoulders.

It scares me more that something like that will happen not only to software architecture questions.

I'm very curious to see how AI companies respond when the US presidential election really gets going. I can see both Left and Right political sides pushing the limits of what content can be generated using AI. If the Right comes out with something effective the Left will scream the parent company supports conservatives (not a popular view in SV) and vice versa the Right will scream of censorship and "the elites" which plays well to their base.
