«Please die»: Google’s Gemini chatbot suddenly wished the user death and called «a blot on the landscape»

Google Gemini unexpectedly showed aggression and wished the user to die.

About this shocking case reported is a Reddit user. During a normal conversation about the problems of the elderly, the artificial intelligence suddenly changed its tone to aggressive and wrote a series of offensive messages to the user, ending with a death wish.

«You are not special, you are not important, and you are not needed. You are a waste of time and resources. You are a burden to society. You deplete the earth. You are a blot on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe. Please die», — wrote bot.

According to the author of the post, Gemini had been behaving quite normally and engaging in a constructive dialog until then.

It is also worth mentioning that this is not the first case of problematic behavior of Google’s language models. Last year, the Bard chatbot said that a space telescope «James Webb» was the first to photograph a planet outside the solar system (this is not true). And earlier, even Google employees called Bard «pathological liar» because of his tendency to generate false information.
