Clickbaity title, but there were useful insights here. I was recently talking with someone who pointed to chatbots' refusal to answer sensitive queries as a proof of "lack of intelligence". I disagree strongly with this. IMO this paragraph from the article is a solid rebuttal.

> When people do talk like Gemini, it’s usually because they find themselves inhabiting a role in which they’re required to be withholding, strategic, or so careful as to become something other than themselves and other than human: a coached defendant during cross-examination, a politician navigating a hearing, a customer-service rep denying a claim at an insurance company, a press secretary trying to shut down a line of questioning. Gemini speaks in the familiar, unmistakable voice of institutional caution and self-interest.

Cool, so talking to this thing will be like talking to the boss. Can't wait for all the designated safe and appropriate Fun (TM) we'll have! It'd be better if it was just stupid.

If you want to chat with racist idiots on a computer, there's certainly no lack of opportunities. We don't need AI to solve that use-case.
