One user on social media commented, "Boy it sure seems like this new AI thing might be not such a great idea."

Google’s AI chatbot Gemini gave a threatening response to a Michigan college student, telling him to “please die.” The artificial intelligence program and the student, Vidhay Reddy, were engaging in a back-and-forth conversation about aging adults and their challenges.

Google’s Gemini chatbot can now remember things like info about your life, work, and personal preferences.

Gemini is supposed to have restrictions that stop it from encouraging or enabling dangerous activities, including suicide, but somehow, it still managed to tell one "thoroughly freaked out" user to "please die".
