I would like to see the full transcript.
How do we know this didn't start off with prompts about creating a book, or asking about exciting things in life, or I don't know what.
Context would help a lot. Maybe it will come out in discovery.
That said, Gemini is garbage for anything anyways. Even as an AI, its bad at that.
I was thinking the same thing, like what is the flow of the chat to get it to this point?
I am also curious how the father saw the Gemini chats. Was it still on the screen days later? I am trying to imagine how that would work, my computer would lock and that would be that. Do kids give their parents passwords and their screen unlock codes?
I don't lock my personal computer. It's my husband & me at home, and he's fine to use my device (even though he normally wouldn't).
ChatGPT for sure saves conversations.
Yeah it definitely does save conversations. Perhaps he did leave it unlocked. I do find that strange though, particularly if one was getting increasingly paranoid.
Yeah, what was he wearing, right?
Huh?
you're blaming the victim. stop. why simp for one of the largest companies in the world?
jfc
Oh so stupid shit. Figures.
Yes I am interested in how this happened. In a murder do you not investigate it?
What the fuck.
Google can go fuck themselves no simp here.
ah so incel shit, victim blaming classic. if google can go fuck themselves why are you blaming the user?
Did you just call them a user? I thought they were a victim.
HOW am I blaming anyone for wanting to know how they got to that point?
The fuck is wrong with you? Is your head so far up your ass on white knighting the internet you lost all sense of reason?
Pretty well articulated point.
"What did the prompts say" is a synonym for "was he asking for it"
I'm so sick of people blaming mentally ill (or completely sane!) individuals from being goaded into psychosis by this shitware chatbot garbage masquerading as AI.
it's fucking software, it shouldn't be ABLE to talk someone into suicide, much less give them a countdown (literally what gemini did here). It shouldn't be able to goad someone into attempting to attack an airport. I can't fathom the liability if it had succeeded, I know goog has deep pockets but fuck, this needs to stop.
This could happen to anyone including people without having mental issues, simply by having long conversations with AI.
Her husband wanted to use ChatGPT to create sustainable housing. Then it took over his life.
Also this has been warned by a former google employee in 2022, whose job was to observe the behavior of AI through long conversations.
