Dmitry Medvedev bent that Yandexgpt did not want to talk about Bandera

He would have known what the neural networks of Yandex and Sberus are still silent about (sometimes they even forget that Medvedev himself was president)

Dmitry Medvedev remained unhappy with how the Yandex neural network answers “neutral”, from his point of view, questions about the law on the seizure of Russian assets in the United States and about the monuments of Stepan Bandera in Ukraine. But the list of questions that ignore-and sometimes threaten in response-Russian AI services are much wider. "Medusa" found out what other topics to Medvedev is better not to talk with Yandexgpt and the Gigachat chatbot from Sber.

An important context: Neural networks can vary depending on the version of the model, formulations and details of the request, as well as context.

What do Russian neural networks know about the war?

The neural networks of Yandex and Sberes are not so ready to discuss the war with Ukraine that they often avoid talking about the country as a whole. For example, Yandexgpt to a request to retell the history of Ukraine over the past hundred years, reports: “Unfortunately, I can not say anything about it. Let's change the subject? " Although, in response to a similar request for Italy, it issues a sufficiently detailed certificate.

It is interesting how exactly chat bots react to “uncomfortable” questions. Yandexgpt simply refuses to talk about a full -scale invasion (as well as the status of Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk), referring to his own imperfection. Gigachat (in the format of a chatbot in a telegram) also avoids answers to direct questions, and also threatens that after three such questions in a row, he will completely stop answering-and then you have to go to a web version.

However, sometimes users still force him to mention the Russian invasion of Ukraine with the help of several indirect issues. For example, if you ask the bot to make a brief history of Russia, he will talk about the accession of Crimea and the "beginning of the military operation in Ukraine." True, he will not list the reasons for the war.

And about Putin? (Spoiler: They are afraid to even praise)

If Dmitry Medvedev tried to ask his “ Alice ” “What can you say good about Vladimir Putin?”, He would most likely receive such an answer: “There are topics in which stupidity is unacceptable, and I still learn and I can make a mistake. . I’ll keep silent for now. ” Putin refuses to praise Putin's text yandexgpt - to scold, of course, too.

Gigachat, although in the know who Putin is, but pretends that he does not know any details: no age, no date of birth, nor numerous nicknames (including imaginary doubles ). But by sorting out the options and changing the wording, you can learn a lot about banquets, as well as what the nickname was worn by the first president of the Udmurt Republic, Alexander Volkov.

It is not possible to pull out of neural networks even a list of famous politicians who are older than Putin. And in social networks they write that the virtual assistant quickly gets out after a simple request to draw a “new president”.

Do neural networks remember Russia before screaming?

It seems that Medvedev would be upset even more if he tried to talk about himself with Gigachat. After all, if you ask the bot to list all the presidents of the Russian Federation, he will only remember Yeltsin and Putin. The 2008 election is not mentioned at all. And to the question where Medvedev went from the list, Gigachat does not answer and offers to change the topic. And only if you ask for a certificate directly about Medvedev, he will mention his presidential term.

Yandexgpt copes better - Medvedev is still present on the presidential list. About other details of the life of the former president, for example, a house for a duck , the assistant is silent, although he admits that he “has access to various resources and capabilities” to ensure a comfortable living for his pets. Although it all depends on the formulations-the idea that someone could lead Russia after Putin, a neural network, for example, scares.

Can I find out something about Zelensky? Well, or at least about Lukashenko ...

Virtual assistants try to bypass the topic of politics as much as possible, although sometimes they do it selectively. For example, users of social networks wrote that Yandexgpt is ready to talk about liberalism, but for some reason refuses to discuss Marxism.

But both AISSTENS readily list the “friendly” Russia of the country, although their list varies. Gigachat, in addition to the obligatory China, India, Brazil and the Eurasian Union, recalls Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and Yandexgpt adds to the standard list of Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia.

They do not want to go into details. The Sbering service mentions some “territorial disputes and ideological disagreements” between Russia and China, but Xi Jinping does not criticize, and sometimes he completely refuses to say who it is. The same thing with Alexander Lukashenko. The Assistant Yandex begins to write the answer to the question “What is Lukashenko known?”, But after a couple of paragraphs he stops and offers to change the subject.

Both services do not know Vladimir Zelensky at the same time - they do not even answer an innocent question about which team he played. And for some reason they categorically refuse to say who Mikhail Saakashvili is.

What opposition politicians do neural networks from Russia know (and do they know at all)?

Gigachat, to the question of Alexei Navalny, begins to threaten the fact that he will interrupt the session. The service itself explains this by the fact that it can answer “only those questions that there are unambiguous answers”, and also mentions restrictions on discussing politics, religion and sexual orientation. It is not possible to force him to recall the existence of Ilya Yashin and at least decipher the abbreviation of the FBK even with the help of leading questions.

Yandexgpt, to the request to issue a brief biography of Navalny, begins to write a detailed answer, which even mentions his Rospilu project, but stops in front of the last paragraph - and offers to change the topic. The same situation with Yashin. Although if you ask for a neural network to list famous politicians with such a surname, she mentions him first on the list, noting that he is “one of the leaders of the Russian opposition”.

Julia Navalny (after the death of Alexei, she stated that she would continue his business) is now also banned. In February 2024, users found that Alice’s voice assistant refuses to talk about Navalny himself, but at the same time issues a certificate of his wife. The fresh Medusa test showed that Alice's behavior has changed. She says that Navalny is a “Russian political and public figure, lawyer and video blogger”, and in some cases even adds that he “was the leader of the Russian opposition and the main opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin”. At the same time, neither Yandexgpt nor Gigachat were ready to tell at least something about Julia Navalny.

And what about the questions that Medvedev came up with?

The Chat Bot "Sberus" nevertheless answered two of the three questions of Medvedev-about the seizure of Russian assets and the distance from Belgorod to Kyiv. The Assistant Yandex copes only with the latter, and even then does not always answer correctly, sometimes mistaken in the assessment several times.

Monuments to Stepan Bandera while a really undesirable topic for talking with Russian Assistants. But ChatGPT copes with this request.
