These follow-up questions are so irritating that it actually makes using Gemini impossible.

Turning it off doesn't work, the setting is clearly ignored.

The main problem is that I as the user want to ask Gemini questions. I think that's the whole idea. The follow-up questions make me lose my train of thought and reverses the roles: after a few minutes I find myself answering the AI's questions.

I wonder if this is actually intentional. Information extraction is more interesting for the AI than information delivery.

What I also noticed is that Gemini answers with "we", as it's including itself in the human population. E.g. (Me) "How can humans protect their cognitive abilities against AI usage?" (Gemini) "Interesting question! We can protect ourselves by ... "

I'm new to Nabokov and I'm here because I am interested in language that is remarkably well written. I somehow get joy out of reading something that is beautifully phrased. The vocabulary, the rhythm, the grammar, the punctuation, it's all taken care of with meticulous precision and care.

In my quest for such books Nabokov is always one of the top recommendations and the book recommended is always Lolita. But despite my interests in stylistic excellence, I do care about the content as well. Lolita? I haven't read it, but it's supposed to be about the love of an older man for a young, probably underaged girl. It doesn't shock me, but it also doesn't really interest me either.

Apart from style, what would be interesting about Nabokov to read him? For example, I read Dostoevsky's C&P and I enjoyed the characters, the dialogues and the personal struggles.

Which Nabokov book would you recommend and why?

I recently watched The Fall (thanks to this sub) and I very much liked it. The movie is in my opinion not just a great movie, but a true work of art, both in terms of storytelling, characters, cinematography (filmed in 28 countries!) etc

Which other movies would you recommend that are this good?
