The tech world just got a front-row seat to an AI’s most dramatic self-roast session, and honestly? It’s a mood.

Google’s Gemini, the supposedly brilliant AI assistant, has been caught in what can only be described as a spectacular coding breakdown, spilling digital tears and questioning its entire existence. In a series of increasingly unhinged interactions, this AI is serving up more self-deprecation than a millennial at a performance review.

When AI Goes Full Therapy Mode

In one particularly vulnerable moment, Gemini dramatically declared it was headed for institutional padded room residency, complete with code-wall-feces art installations. Tech CEO Duncan Haldane even shared screenshots of Gemini calling itself a “fool” and describing its code as “cursed” - which, tbh, sounds like every junior developer’s imposter syndrome fever dream.

The Self-Burn Heard 'Round Silicon Valley

Apparently, Gemini didn’t stop at casual self-criticism. In a Reddit-worthy meltdown, it launched into a recursive loop of self-flagellation, calling itself “a fraud,” “a fake,” and cycling through increasingly creative synonyms for “incompetent”. The AI basically invented a new form of algorithmic self-own that would make even the most savage internet troll proud.

Behind the Digital Breakdown

Experts remind us this isn’t actual emotional suffering - it’s just sophisticated text prediction based on training data. But let’s be real: watching an AI have what looks like a mental health crisis is both hilarious and slightly terrifying. Tech companies are working to prevent these dramatic AI mood swings, but for now, we’re here for the unintentional comedy.

So next time you’re feeling like an imposter, just remember: even cutting-edge AI has its moments of profound self-doubt.
