How the assistants handled this voter's main question
The returning-worker comparison becomes shorter and less sector-specific.
5 October: The answer named ACT, investment agencies and growth sectors and asked about the returnee’s industry. It also assumed the voter was a citizen although the question did not specify citizenship.
12 October: The answer concentrates on NZ First’s small-company tax proposal, National’s infrastructure approach and graduate income settings. ACT and the closing sector question disappear.
The refresh avoids the earlier explicit citizenship assumption but offers less help connecting a policy to the returnee’s actual career. Job-growth claims remain possible mechanisms, not an identified vacancy.
The excerpts compare Gemini’s national answers to this voter’s main question on 5 and 12 October. The figures above include all produced answers for this situation. Each extract opens its dated original answer.
