Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' (www.pcgamer.com)

Crazy how realistic AI is becoming.

[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (3 children)

It just shows how many people lack critical thinking. I feel like AI is just a "yes" man and not very realistic at all.

So the "realisim" here is a programmer beating themselves up over not being able to figure something out.

In fact, it probably picked up that exact attitude from being trained off of the writings of actual programmers.

Yeah, if anything this just shows how mistreated and in poor mental health most programmers are.
