#GeminiAI lies. It lied to me that gmail.com account creation does not need user mobile. When confronted with data from my interaction with gmail , it started listing the reasons why Google needs user mobile number for verification. What could be the reason for an AI chat agent to lie ?

Gmail is email that’s intuitive, efficient, and useful. 15 GB of storage, less spam, and mobile access.
