It is becoming difficult for a common person to differentiate between pure science and mere spectacle.

Now the question : Could #GeminiAI have said that as the question involves reputation of my investor, there is 'Conflict of Interest' bias probability and so I deny answering the query ? Or Can we treat #GenAI chat agents as purely logic processing constructs verified mathematically of error&bias.

Wow! #GeminiAI shifting goalpost, too smart. From 'no mobile number association' To 'okay okay, Google does it but in good faith' 😆

GeminiAI : The text explicitly guarantees: "Scanning the QR code won’t associate your device or phone number with the new Google Account."

surinder8byte.bsky.social @surinder8byte.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
GeminiAI : No, scanning the QR code will not connect your phone or mobile number to the new Google account. Google uses your mobile phone hardware strictly as a temporary physical key to confirm you are a live human and not a computer bot.

surinder8byte.bsky.social @surinder8byte.bsky.social · 01/07/2026
GeminiAI : The QR code is simply a tool to prove you are a human. As explicitly noted on your screen, scanning it will not save, associate, or link that phone number to your new Google Account Me : but QR scan needs a mobile, and this will connect (mobile to gmail account)

#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.

AI is a tool. Would oligarchs be able to leverage it ? Or will open source be able to provide access of AI to masses in unbiased form ? It needs huge money to run data centers, can there be a business model where there is an honest provider/consumer relation, without biased shims from biggies?

When a handful of entities shape the information ecosystem, that’s not just an economic issue — it’s a democratic one. Power over narratives is power over perception. And yet, in a country The problem is real. The constraints are real. Pretending either side doesn’t exist is intellectual laziness.
