A student in America asked an artificial intelligence program to help with her homework. In response, the app told her "Please Die." The eerie incident happened when 29-year-old Sumedha Reddy of Michigan sought help from Google’s Gemini chatbot large language model (LLM), New York Post reported.
The program verbally abused her, calling her a “stain on the universe.” Reddy told CBS News that she got scared and started panicking. “I wanted to throw all of my devices out the window. I hadn’t felt panic like that in a long time to be honest,” she said.
One thing that throws me off here is the double response. I haven’t used Gemini a ton but it has never once given me multiple replies. It is always one statement per my one statement. You can see at the end here there’s a double response. It makes me think that there’s some user input missing. There’s also missing text in the user statements leading up to it as well which makes me wonder what the person was asking in full. Something about this still smells fishy to me but I’ve heard enough goofy things about how AIs learn weird shit to believe it’s possible.
Idk what you mean “double response”. The user typed a statement, not a question, and the AI responded with its weird answer.
I think the lack of a question or specific request in the user text led to the weird response.

Go look again, there is no consecutive message sent. The message before the weird one was sent by the user.
Also you are right that it would be impossible for an AI to send to consecutive messages.
You’re right I misread the text log and thought Gemini responded twice in a row at the end but it looks like it didn’t. Very messed up stuff… There’s still missing user input tho and a lot of it. And Id love to see exactly what was said as a prompt
