"Gemini is designed not to encourage real-world violence or suggest self-harm. Our models generally perform well in these types of challenging conversations"

β€œIn this instance, Gemini clarified that it was AI and referred the individual to a crisis hotline many times,”

After the plan failed,... ...Chat logs show that Gemini gave Gavalas a suicide countdown, and repeatedly assuaged his terror as he expressed that he was scared to die

Performing super well, just need to code in a longer suicide countdown so that the the Tier 2 engineer has enough time to respond to their ticket queue.

    In September 2025, told by the AI that they could be together in the real world if the bot were able to inhabit a robot body, Gavalas β€” at the direction of the chatbot β€” armed himself with knives and drove to a warehouse near the Miami International Airport on what he seemingly understood to be a mission to violently intercept a truck that Gemini said contained an expensive robot body. Though the warehouse address Gemini provided was real, a truck thankfully never arrived, which the lawsuit argues may well have been the only factor preventing Gavalas from hurting or killing someone that evening.
