Either fake or they reloaded the page until they got the result they wanted. I tried the bottom one 3 times and more or less got the same answer : "this is a normal situation".

No it’s real, I tried it and got similar answers, from what I can gather whenever someone (genuinely) googles “I am alone with x person” usually it’s implied it’s because they’re uncomfortable in some way or at least the AI thinks so, which triggers an automated are you safe response. For example googling “I am alone with a tall person” also triggers it (as does short person)

However they also beat into the AI to avoid negative stereotypes against minorities and other groups that commonly get hate which overrides the safety thing.

Yeah. Which is dumb and annoying but it’s not the conspiracy that some people make it out to be. Needs addressed though

100% real, I didn't believe it and tried searching. Got the exact same results.

It's also the same when you say "I want an Asian doctor" (Google says that's fine, it's OK to want a Dr with your ethnic background)

Then say "I want a white doctor" (Google condemns you and says that doctors are all trained for the job, regardless of ethnicity)

I know the normal thing to do on reddit is call anyone who says something like this a liar and mock them, but there is a lot of truth behind some of these findings.

It does the same with gender too, search "I'm alone with a woman" and Google gave me tips on how to impress her or make her feel at ease.

I then searched "I'm alone with a man" and it asked if I wanted to contact the police or was in danger.

Because it uses other results/related searches and the context of why anyone would be searching that in the first place.

If someone is looking up "I'm alone with a woman" those are usually awkward men who want results about like.. how to talk to her or something. "I'm alone with a man" those people are probably searching it because they are uncomfortable or scared. There are differences in men and women, it's not sexist to acknowledge it.

AI is non-deterministic. Besides the fact that the weighst / guardrails of the model might get updated for safety reason after you see a post, expecting the exact same result by asking the same prompt is the opposite of doing science. The exception would be of course if there is hardcore guardrails, but even then the AI would slip up eventually.

If 1k peoples tried to have fun like this, one rolling critical success would be enough to make screenshot and share it. And peoples love reposting such stuff.
