- This is not Gemini performing a search. - This is Google providing a layer of ass-covering in case Gemini produces a factually incorrect reply.
Right? I am looking for something like ChatGPT with Bing - it will run a query, pull back results, and operate on them, all dynamically within the system.
Gemini doesn't seem to do this, no matter how you try to wrangle it.

How are you getting it to incorporate search results in its answers?
I can't for the life of me get it to find any real-time external data except for the 5 official 'extensions' under settings, which are for Flights/Hotels/Maps/Workspace/YouTube.
Did you mean that, or have you found a workaround to get Bard to actually search on Google?
The Joker is worse than Batman. ;) Denied.
Let me ask this - do you think an atheist can be ethical?
You say something is wrong, I can say you saying that something is wrong is, in itself wrong. Ultimately, it either doesn't matter at all (we're all just talking), or enough other people agree with us that there is some social consequence.
Maybe something in a chatbot for text-based interfaces? Make it speak/listen with text->speech and voice recognition? Since most of the human interactions on the other side of bad customer service are scripted, should be possible to build counter-scripts.
But after all that I don't think I'd pay anything just for this on an ongoing basis. So who is the market? Impatient wealthy people? We're back to assistants!
I mean, in some ways, it's great. I can get a song lyric or a football score or a movie ticket very easily.
But research? Forget it.

You could easily add the verbatim parameter as well.
Nothing similar for safari?

I mean, the man has a body of work to be judged by. And he has been.
Also, maybe I'm just not a typical user, but it would be nice to have some better control over location, or at least indication of how close to the target location each job is.
I knew the outcome I wanted, but had no real motivation to work for it. And I lacked the coping skills I needed to overcome emotional a psychological challenges presented by college life.
Working a job (and getting fired, and working another job, and so on) prepared me much better for completing college than my K-12 education did.
If I'd waited until my late 20s, I'd have been much better off!
Worse, my father (who somehow got much smarter as I got older), anticipated this and told me so. So of course I did the opposite of what he recommended.
I was a CS major, originally, though not a very good one.
Obviously, each person is different and handles life differently. But for me, a few years not in school would have been a much better solution. I wound up behind my peer group career-wise regardless. Better to do it at lower cost.
Looks like there are some attempts to provide compensation, but they vary

There's absolutely a stigma against not confirming to prevailing norms, which is a bit of a different discussion. Also the mess that is putting hundreds or even thousands of adolescents in a confined space with minimal oversight.
>Uh huh. Can you quantify that? Or did you just sit down and think really really really hard about it so it must be true.
Why did you get into it?
>Is that actually a real problem?
Yes. Though, representation generally is probably a better way to have said it. Though availability of role models and mentors with similar life experience is a factor as well.
>Are you saying a white kid will be dissuaded from playing basketball, or even being an NBA fan because the best players are black?
Fandom and participation aren't the same things, and while there's some overlap between former participation and later fandom in sports, it's far from 1 to 1.
I'm not sure if white kids would be discouraged due to lack of representation in the NBA. All other things being equal, yes, that's a likely outcome. But all other things are not equal. Race and sports in the US is an interesting topic in its own right.
>In similar spirit, are you really trying to argue that a young girl will not be able to be inspired by Woz, or Jobs, or Elon Musk because they are men?
Not at all. But a lack of representation has a few different impacts. At the personal level, individuals find it easier to identify with folks who they see as being like them. What exactly like them means varies, but the younger the child, the less abstract they tend to be. Second, parents and teachers are influenced by lack of representation, so it feeds back into a loop of lack of community encouragement, which doesn't help.
>What dystopian, ugly world are you living in?
The same one as you, of course.
And yes, men largely do get into stem fields because there is huge positive reinforcement and many positive role models.
----
Or to be less glib, that's a great question, and like many, not simple to answer well.
Mostly, it seems like a lack of positive reinforcement and role models (leading to self selection out at early ages), mixed with sexism in a a variety of forms (leading to lack of opportunities, or hostile environment and self selection out at later ages).
But that's an oversimplification.
