Yeah I think this comment basically sums up my cynicism about that video.
It's that, you know some of this happened and you don't know how much. So when it says "what the quack!" presumably the model was prompted "give me answers in a more fun conversational style" (since that's not the style in any of the other clips) and, like, was it able to do that with just a little hint or did it take a large amount of wrangling "hey can you say that again in a more conversational way, what if you said something funny at the beginning like 'what the quack'" and then it's totally unimpressive. I'm not saying that's what happened, I'm saying "because we know we're only seeing a very fragmentary transcript I have no way to distinguish between the really impressive version and the really unimpressive one."
It'll be interesting to use it more as it gets more generally available though.
You can see the cracks in the feature early on:
"What do you think I'm doing? Hint: it's a game."
Anyone with as much "knowledge" as Gemini aught to know it's roshambo.
"Is this the right order? Consider the distance from the sun and explain your reasoning."
Full prompt elided from the video.
I’ve heard of roshambo mostly from South Park

I’ve vaguely heard the term before, but I don’t know what regions of the world actually use that term.
Never heard it called that. Curious where you are from?
For what it's worth, I was born and raised in the Bay Area (in the 90s), and we called it ro-sham-bo growing up. Although it's incredibly strange to see that word in writing, I would always call it rock paper scissors if I were to write it.
