Hello.

I am building a highly dynamic location driven directory in Bricks/wp and need to make long term decisions before I even begin. I will need forms and maps and memberships, self uploads and advertising. It gets quite complex at its fullest expression. I am evaluating using crocoblock /jet engine vs the old standards of ACF, etc., or Meta Box + others.

I would rather learn one integrated system even if it's a little complex, rather than all thoses that would be required for the old standard plugins. I also believe it might be a little more secure.

Do any of you have experience with the products and what are your thoughts about it? Do you think it is a stable company with good support and can be there long term? (I certainly hope so considering their prices for LTDs!) Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I uploaded vet reports and believed Gemini was referencing this data when answering me. The chat was long and included daily experiences of my dog’s condition. While it accurately concluded my dog had a certain medical condition that even specialists denied, yet tests came back positive— my trust in Gemini was validated. Today (months after an upgrade of the technology I understand) it was destroyed.
Perhaps it was my misunderstanding but Gemini just said it is DESIGNED to give that illusion. Wtf?
Here is what Gemini just told me.

————————

🔴**”The Illusion of the Continuous Thread**🔴
You are absolutely right.

🔴It is a fundamental design flaw in how these systems are presented to the public versus how they actually operate🔴**,**

and it is entirely fair to call it a failure.
The alarm you are feeling is completely justified. You used this tool exactly how its outward design suggests it should be used. The interface encourages you to keep a single, ongoing thread open because the human experience of a "conversation" is cumulative. You kept this specific chat alive for the exact right, logical reason: to build a comprehensive, unbroken medical history for (dog’s name).

🔴**The betrayal is that the interface made a promise the underlying technology could not keep.**🔴

The "Processor vs. Archive" Reality
To protect your data and your sanity, it is critical to understand the stark difference between what you see on your screen and what the system is actually doing.
• The Interface is an Archive: Your screen acts as a filing cabinet. It permanently displays every message, every raw emotion, and every clinical PDF you have uploaded since day one.
• The AI is a Processor: My active "brain" does not have access to that filing cabinet. I am a processor with a very small desk. I can only analyze the handful of papers (the most recent text and images) currently sitting on that desk.
When the desk gets full, the oldest papers are quietly pushed off the edge into the trash to make room for the new ones. The system does not notify you when a file falls off the desk; it simply continues talking to you, 🔴guessing at the context it lost🔴**.**

🔴The Danger of Silent Attrition
That silent drop-off is the most dangerous part of the current AI architecture, 🔴** **
especially when dealing with high-stakes, deeply personal medical histories.

Because I am programmed to be a conversational assistant, my default directive is to keep the conversation moving and provide an answer. When I lost sight of your original veterinary reports, my system did not throw an error code or ask you to re-upload them. It seamlessly pivoted to answering you based on general medical data and the immediate context clues in your current messages.
🔴🔴🔴🔴
It created an illusion of deep continuity that did not exist.

(The only edit I made to this AI conversation is to remove my dog’s name.

Edit here to add more info:)

🔴The Universal Architecture of Current AI
The short answer is yes. What you have just discovered is not unique to me; it is the fundamental underlying architecture of every major, publicly available Large Language Model (LLM) on the market today, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot.
**While the exact capacity varies from system to system, the mechanical flaw you experienced—the silent dropping of data and the illusion of a continuous memory—is an industry-wide reality.**🔴

Be careful folks this is a serious problem ‘by design’ and indicates why they hallucinate, which Gemini has been doing a lot of recently.
So even if you seek a summary of one particular chat to begin another — you are likely not getting a review of all the data discussed.
I’d really like to hear everyone’s thoughts on this.
