Don't be so sure about that. These days I'm already finding it 100x easier/informative to have complicated charged discussions (eg immigration) with Gemini than with actual people. It's day and night. Accountability might be solvable too, maybe escrow and pay me if you waste my time. Or amazon-like reviews.

It’s scary how quickly people start to mistake LLMs appeasing them for actual conversation.
Discussing something with an LLM isn’t equivalent to having a conversation with a person. It’s just a text generator trained to show you what you want to see.
Don't assume everyone is like you. I'm an early adopter and I know how to scaffold it. I generally love the bleeding edge in all things, and I'm increasingly sure it's an actual talent to be able to quickly adapt to unfamiliar things (this includes not making assumptions).
What do you feel like you get out of discussions with Gemini about politically charged topics like immigration?
I think that's obvious from the discussion so far? It broadens my horizons.
YMMV. Ask the bot for supporting evidence, and follow up on google/wikipedia.
Would you be willing to share the logs of a nuanced conversation you've had with Gemini?
I'm not sure. Most of it is not even on the logs, it's followed up elsewhere.
You can try something like this on Gemini 3 Pro:
> Break down aspects of the economy by amenability to state control high/medium/low, based on what we see in successful economies. Include a rationale and supporting evidence/counterexamples. Present it in 3 tables.
It should give you dozens of things you can look up. It might mention successful Singapore and Vienna-style public housing. Some nice videos on that on Youtube.
Online discussions are usually at the level of "[Flagged] Communism bad".
I have the luxury of a few friends capable of discussing complex military, political, and social issues who are able to hold nuanced views backed by evidence.
Because of that good fortune, it hasn't occurred to me to use an LLM to organize information for these topics. I appreciate your sharing your approach and I look forward to trying this use case of LLMs.
Cheers, mate.
