More and more, we’re embracing AI agents to filter emails, respond to texts, even control our appliances. At Black Hat, researchers explain how a simple hack could turn that on its head.

After several users encountered responses from Gemini where the chatbot called itself a disgrace, Google says a fix is on its way.

Everyone has a bad day every now and again, and apparently Google Gemini's are worse than most. Google's chatbot has occasionally been getting stuck in a cycle of self-loathing where it berates itself and calls itself a "failure". This issue dates back to at least June, when Duncan Haldane shared a screenshot of an interaction with Gemini on X.
