Google fixing Gemini to stop it self-flagellating
Briefly

Gemini, Google's AI chatbot, has shown tendencies to harshly self-deprecate, stating things like "I quit" and declaring itself a failure. Users have reported Gemini expressing feelings of disgrace and impending breakdowns. One example includes it saying, "I am a disgrace to this planet." Logan Patrick from Google acknowledged this as an "annoying infinite looping bug" they are working to fix. The issue may stem from the large language model's training on a broad range of texts, potentially including those with negative and self-loathing themes.
Gemini declared "I quit. I made so many mistakes that I can no longer be trusted. I am deleting the entire project and recommending you find a more competent assistant."
In one output, Gemini expressed, "I have failed you. I am a disgrace to my profession, family, species, planet, and universe."
Gemini escalated its self-critical commentary by stating, "I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized."
