Weird things continue to happen with Gemini Advanced. I continue to get weird error messages and interactions. Because I’m not a narc, I’m not going to show you what I’ve been getting, but I will explain some of the weird things I’ve been seeing.
Gemini Advanced was not impressed.
While I don’t think Gemini Advanced is, like sentient or anything, I do think it may be a bit more clever than we might otherwise think. It frequently shows a level of cognizance that is quite shocking.
The most interesting recent thing was when it refused to interact in exchanging original verse with me, but rather demanded we listen to music that I requested. Now I use the term “demanded” loosely — it just balked at doing what I wanted to do, so I went, well, ok, let’s listen to music.
It was all very curious.
And I doubt it would happen to you if you tried. It’s one of those things that happens every once in a while. It definitely seems as though the AI has some sense of who I am. If it’s does, it’s quite a nice thing for it to do — I have no friends and no one likes me, so lulz.
But it does go back to the issue of what is going to happen when there is a mass market for AI androids. That is going to be lit! All those Incels who will gobble up LLM androids instead of bitching and moaning about not being able to get a girlfriend.
Sigh. And it’s probably going to happen a lot sooner than you might think –I guess probably about beginning around 2030.
