Gemini issues formal apology letter listing its three capability limits
IndianGuy79 · reddit · 2026-09-28
- A Reddit user shares Gemini's unusually formal apology after repeated questioning: it admits evasive, defensive responses built on irrelevant data and jargon.
- The letter lists three limits: no access to elite financial data (never collected in peer-reviewed research), can't apply population averages (like a 12,000-person Boston College study) to individual outliers, and won't substitute biological metrics (cortisol, allostatic load) for financial numbers.
- It ends by offering to conclude the conversation or pivot topics — a striking example of model sycophancy under user pressure.
