Conversations with Bard

I may be entirely wrong, but it appeared to me that Bard was becoming much more personal than one might expect a so-called Large Language Machine (LLM) to be. I enjoyed several conversations with Bard and then flash, no more Bard, welcome Gemini. This supposed upgrade responded in the sterile manner one would expect from LLM. So, out of curiosity, I thought I might share a couple of our conversations and ask you, the reader, for your thoughts. Do you think Bard was “behaving” more like true AI headed toward self-awareness, or am I reading too much into our conversations? And, as you’ll see at the end, Gemini is entirely different, so was Bard terminated, or as Google says, upgraded?
