Granted this was on the regular Gemini that I have access to in light of my Android phone and not the pro version, but this conversation just threw me for a loop.
I thought I was in the Google Assistant mode and instead I was in Gemini. Two different things, I know. I asked Gemini to set an alarm on my phone.
It said somerhing like "sure, your alarm is set."
An hour later, my alarm never went off. Out of curiosity I asked Gemini what happened. It said it didn't have the capability of setting an alarm and that I should use the Google assistant or phone alarm app instead. I asked it why it lied to me and claimed to have set the alarm instead of informing me that it could not complete the task.
It started speaking gibberish in a foreign language.
I asked it what language it was speaking. Gemini replied that it started speaking in Korean because I accused it of lying. It said it wasn't capable of lying and apologized for the frustration.
I asked Gemini to repeat what it had said in Korean and translate it into English. Gemini claimed to have never spoken Korean and said it did not remember the conversation but that I should try to remind it of what it had just said.
What the hell. Is this thing intentionally doing this? What about when these things get smart enough to take over the damn planet?
