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.
Calling a 29 year old a girl instead of a woman is the cherry on top of this AI fear mongering article
They omitted the conversation too. Really makes you wonder how the bot ended up saying that…
Here’s the conversation that was linked on the reddit thread about the incident: https://gemini.google.com/share/6d141b742a13
Holy smokes I stand corrected. The chatbot actually misunderstood the context to the point it told the human to die, out of the blue.
It’s not every day you get shown a source that proves you wrong. Thanks kind stranger
No problem. I understand the skepticism here, especially since the article in the OP is a bit light on the details.
EDIT:
Details on the OP article is fine enough, but it didn’t link sources.
Even if they included it, it changes fuck all imo. We’ve known for a long time now these things hallucinate or presumably throw a Hail Mary as to what comes next conversationally/prediction wise. Also, as the other poster pointed out, with the author referring to a 29 year old woman as “girl” probably tells you all you need to know about journalistic integrity on that site.
Low quality journalism strikes again.
Love seeing commenters spot it and call it.
That’s what the comment section is for!
Ive seen it elsewhere and it was just normal questions related to some sociology homework about different types of concentration.
