I've been trying out Gemini for a little while, and quickly got annoyed by that pattern. They're overly trained to agree maximally.
However, in the Gemini web app you can add instructions that are inserted in each conversation. I've added that it shouldn't assume my suggestions as good per default, but offer critique where appropriate.
And so every now and then it adds a critique section, where it states why it thinks what I'm suggesting is a really bad idea or similar.
It's overall doing a good job, and I feel it's something it should have had by default in a similar fashion.
You can insert a custom default prompt on pretty much every AI under the sun these days, not just Gemini
I assume so, just haven't tried the others yet. Main point was rather that the model can behave differently if the provider wanted, without any additional training.
