Previously, contractors could skip prompts they were not qualified to assess. However, they must now rate parts of prompts they understand, potentially compromising the accuracy of the AI’s outputs on sensitive topics. This change has sparked worries about the reliability of information provided by Gemini, especially in technical fields.
