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.

WARNING: Graphic Content. The chatbot was responding to an innocent true or false question about the number of households in the US led by grandparents.
