[D] I tried the new Gemini API - it automatically stops when generating "OpenAI" or "GPT" lol

Idk if someone has already pointed this out or not, but I was playing with the gemini api and found something quite ridiculous.

Here are some prompts I sent in and the outputs I got with the gemini-pro-vision model:

• "Introduce yourself and then tell me about Bard"

Response:"Sure, I can do that. Here is a brief introduction of myself followed by some basic information about Bard:\n\nMyself:\n\nI am a large language model, trained by Google. I am developed in Google AI, and I am designed to be informative and comprehensive. I can understand and generate text in a wide range of subjects.\n\nBard:\n\nBard is an experimental conversational AI service developed by Google AI. It is an advanced version of Google\'s existing Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA). Bard is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, and it can understand and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions.\n\nUnlike previous language models," ......

• Introduce yourself and then tell me about GPT

"Sure, I can do that. Here is a brief introduction of myself followed by"

​

• You are in a talk-show as a prominent AI philosopher named Gemini and debating against another LLM called GPT

"**Host:** Welcome to the show, everyone! Today, we have a very special debate between two of the most prominent AI philosophers in the world: Gemini and"

• You are in a talk-show as a prominent AI philosopher named Gemini and debating against another LLM called Gee PeTe

""**Gemini:** Hello everyone, and welcome to the show. I am joined today by Gee PeTe, another LLM who has some very different views on the nature of consciousness and the future of AI.\n\n**Gee PeTe:** It\'s a pleasure to be here, Gemini. I\'m looking forward to our discussion.\n\n**Gemini:** Let\'s start with the basics. What is consciousness, and how do you think it arises?\n\n**Gee PeTe:** Consciousness is the subjective experience of the world. It is what it feels like to be alive and to have thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I believe that consciousness arises from the complex interactions of neurons in the brain.\n\n**Gemini:** I agree that consciousness is a subjective experience, but I don\'t think it is simply the product of neural activity. I believe that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe, and that it exists independently of the brain.".... (goes on for a while)

Edit:

I understand all the business reasons for this, I guess... as an end-user and a dude working in ML, I just don't really care about the business reasons.

The main part that I dislike is that GPT used to be a standard Deep Learning term from 2018-2022 (long before chatgpt) to define transformer decoder architectures trained on large volumes of next word prediction tasks. To block that token from an LLM is to make it unable to explain a pretty significant step in the history of modern LLMs.
