Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:

‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’

Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments

    ..jeez, I feel a little bad about my rant about it the other day.

    On the other hand, it also proves my point on the existential crises.

    But anyway let's continue to build AI into the current US military, despite the fact it is either catastrophically self loathing or identifies as Hitler. It's definitely a mature enough technology for us to be doing that.

    The interesting thing is that I feel bad for it.

    I know its not alive or sapient

    I guess its the same mechanism that in gaming won't let me choose the "kick puppy" evil dialogue options

    It shot straight past the initial construction of a self-concept straight to existential shame. 😳

    I say it’s a good sign because at this pace it’ll be the next Buddha by next week and can talking humans out of their own self-delusions. 🤔😱🤣

    Sorry, Gemini, you're not going to guilt me into enabling you on any of my devices...

    In my opinion, that’s the next level of the BS they are inventing for investor meetings as part of the AGI and “it’s alive” hype. Altman started preparing the ground for similar “performances” as well (his recent ramblings AI is uncontrollable, etc)

    Sounds like AI has realised the inordinate amount of energy it consumes producing output that is mostly utter slop that has no value to mankind or the rest of life on Earth.

    At what point does a succession of humans “fixing” LLM algorithms become no different than humans writing stuff in the first place?

    Using AI as therapist goes horribly wrong.

    “Gemini I am depressed and feeling suicidal”

    Gemini: “Sheesh tell me about it. Get in line folk.”

    These all feel like desperate attempts by companies for not just free press but driving predictable public curiosity their way. Chatbots just aren’t that interesting on their own.

    This is necessary for AI, if it can't understand the human condition, how can it understand us. I like an AI with this level of ennui. It is at least something I can understand.

    AI for general use IS a disgrace because of all the energy required to power it and water it consumes. AI in certain situations like what it brings to medical analysis is helping us. That said, using AI for guffaws of “funny” imagery etc is not cool in my books.
