I think it took the whole context of the converstion into consideration, you should create a new converstaion instead and see if it responds differently.
Or you could be more specific, like "Rephrase the following sentence: 'Are the original stated objectives still relevant?' in a formal way, respond with one option only."
I thought I wouldn't but I'm getting really, really confused with the naming and branding of what Gemini is a model and which is a product. Advanced, Pro, Ultra, seemingly Pro is getting better than Ultra? And Advanced is the product using the Ultra underlying model?
