From here you can notice how humanly-centric Gemini is. We don't have
features for bots (more than what it's absolutely needed at least) and
even more importantly we only have basic and necessary stuff. There's
no fluff in Gemini.

Sorry, I somehow left I blank, I was meaning to say:

Perfectly valid point, Gemini is human-centric and should stay that way.However, metadata isn't just for machines, info such as the license,author and date it was written are all things a human may want toknow.
