To his surprise, both ChatGPT and Gemini provided the betting recommendations without acknowledging his previous query about problem gambling.

"The safety [issue], the problem gambling, it's overshadowed by the repeated words, the betting tips prompt," He said. "You're diluting the safety keyword."
