alt Hacker NewsI’ve been seeing this in Gemini in the past few days. Often during a prompt with a reasonably large input set, I’ll get answers that appear to belong to someone else. It may be trigger hallucination, but it seems like it may be cache collisions or something else. I’ve not seen anything to suggest private information is leaking, but it’s disconcerting to be researching something and then get what appears to be a math tutoring response.

My whole company is doing mid year reviews and Gemini is the only allowed tool and its been flumoxing people with seemingly random unrelated responses. Often in different languages.
That is when it bothers to respond instead of just sending back an 1099 error code

I’ve also had problems with Gemini when accessed through their UI in the past few weeks. That’s concerning that you are also seeing it several days later in a different context.
I wonder if there could be a large security situation playing out behind the scenes right now.
I’ve been working on using AI to assist me in writing meta parsing grammars. Fortunately I have not launched most of them yet. I know for a fact that the next generation of models represent a major step change in basic vulnerability identification and exploitation, especially if you know where to point them. They’ve found several bugs and at least one exploit in my parsing tools so far, I can’t imagine how many there still are waiting to be discovered across the entire modern tech ecosystem.
