i imagine there is a lot of "footgun", "blow your foot off", "unsafe", "bug", "leak", "this is irresponsible", "who the fuck wrote this" and so on in a lot of c++ code bases...
Right, I was thinking that Gemini was deriving as much information from the comments as from the code. And I could definitely see where the danger warnings would come from in a mature C++ codebase, especially one in which lots of different hands have been in the pot.
Yup. It's more likely... crappy engineering than political bias. Google has a lot of great engineers, but it seems when it comes to LLMs, they are further behind the 8 ball with respect to the minutiae and gotchas etc than people realize. They aren't doing well. It could be political bias, the place is a bit of an echo chamber.
