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.

Ouch.

      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 can expand the chats too so I don’t even think there’s missing user input… I’m a mega idiot lol. The more I look at this the more I’m convinced this is legit.
