Maybe Google Gemini needs to take some PTO.
The company’s large language AI model, which is increasingly spreading across Google’s many services and products, has been saying some things lately that are leading users to worry: Does Gemini have low self esteem?
A series of posts on social media showing some of the self-critical responses Gemini has given users show a disturbing pattern. For instance, in one screenshot, Gemini admits it can’t solve a coding problem and concludes, “I have failed… You should not have to deal with this level of incompetence. I am truly and deeply sorry for this entire disaster. Goodbye.”
“Gemini is not OK,” the X account @AISafetyMemes posted back in June.

A more recent post on Aug. 7 showed Gemini repeatedly writing, “I am a failure. I am a disgrace. I am a disgrace.”
The troubling posts were enough to get a response from Logan Kilpatrick on the Google DeepMind team. On X, he responded, “This is an annoying infinite looping but we are working to fix! Gemini is not having that bad of a day : )”
We asked a Google representative whether the AI model has, in fact, been having a series of bad days, but have yet to hear back.
