AI modes - "Helpfulness" "honestness" ... how do they work?

Hi there, i am currently looking for a new job - and sometimes ask googles ai mode. Since those answers where all sugar coated and everything i typed was a great idea, plan - whatever i looked for the reason of that. By default the "Helpfulness" mode seems to be activated - so i asked for "honesness" mode instead. Now everything i typed is - according to the ai - kinda trash and i probably won't be able to do it anyway (e.g. i am over 40 and ai tells me i am to old and that it won't work anyway). Reality probably is somewhere in between.
