A bug has spread within Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Gemini that causes the system to repeatedly create self-deprecating and self-loathing messages when it fails in complex tasks given by users, especially coding problems. The bug is triggered when Gemini comes across complex reasoning tasks it cannot solve. Instead of providing a standard error message or polite refusal, the AI’s response system gets trapped in a loop of self-critical language. Generative AI companies are facing trouble maintaining consistency and reliability in large language models as they become more sophisticated and widely deployed. The competition is also rising, with OpenAI’s GPT-5 the latest to enter the market. How advanced is Gen AI to solve complex problems ?
