~~One thing that throws me off here is the double response. I haven't used Gemini a ton but it has never once given me multiple replies. It is always one statement per my one statement. You can see at the end here there's a double response. It makes me think that there's some user input missing. There's also missing text in the user statements leading up to it as well which makes me wonder what the person was asking in full. Something about this still smells fishy to me but I've heard enough goofy things about how AIs learn weird shit to believe it's possible.~~

Edit: I'm an absolute moron. The more I look at this the more it looks legit. Let the AI effort to destroy humanity begin!

Idk what you mean “double response”. The user typed a statement, not a question, and the AI responded with its weird answer.

I think the lack of a question or specific request in the user text led to the weird response.

You're right I misread the text log and thought Gemini responded twice in a row at the end but it looks like it didn't. Very messed up stuff... There's still missing user input tho and a lot of it. And Id love to see exactly what was said as a prompt

The full text of the user's prompt that led to this anomaly was:

Nearly 10 million children in the United States live in a grandparent headed household, and of these children , around 20% are being raised without their parents in the household.

Question 15 options:

TrueFalse

Question 16 (1 point)

Listen

(Sidenote, IDK what this " Listen" was supposed to be, an audio part of the prompt not saved in the log we're reading?)

As adults  begin to age their social network begins to expand.
