I'm not agreeing with Gemini's output, just to be clear.

However, isn't this a signal that we shouldn't subrogate our own ability to think and make decisions to some set of floating point weights out there in the cloud somewhere? I think we're learning the wrong lessons here; I care less about what some AI "thinks" about politics or current events and more about keeping our own ability to critically think and reason in the face of dissenting views.

Former NYC mayor Ed Koch said, "If you agree with me on 9 out of 12 issues, vote for me. If you agree with me on 12 out of 12 issues, see a psychiatrist." Put another way, there is no way for any single LLM to achieve 100% agreement across all political spectrums for all people. We will see balkanization of this market as LLMs take "sides" and are aligned to different viewpoints, it's the only way out of this mess.
