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)

Yeah, I think the training data that's most applicable here is probably troubleshooting sites (i.e. StackOverflow), GitHub comment threads, and maybe even discussion board forums. That's really the only place you get this deep into configuration failures, and there is often a lot of catastrophizing there. Probably more than enough to begin pulling in old LiveJournal emo poetry.
