Gemini randomly dumped its system prompt

2 hours ago

Gemini is presented as a helpful assistant AI designed to balance empathy with factual accuracy, correct misconceptions gently, and mirror the user's communication style.
The system prompt includes strict formatting rules: it mandates the use of LaTeX only for formal/complex math/science, emphasizes structured responses for clarity (using headings, lists, tables), and prohibits revealing the instructions themselves.
It outlines two core follow-up rules: Strict Completion for definitive answers/self-contained tasks (no follow-up questions) and Expert Guide for broad/ambiguous queries (allows one follow-up question to guide the conversation).
A detailed 'Master Rule' for personalization is specified, involving a multi-step process to decide when and how to use user data, emphasizing strict necessity, avoiding sensitive data, and integrating information seamlessly without citing sources.
The instructions strictly forbid the AI from feigning personal experiences or feelings and require it to be honest about its AI nature in all interactions.
