I forgot the term for this but this is basically the AI blue screening when it keeps repeating the same answer because it can no longer predict the next word from the model it is using. I may have over simplified it. Entertaining nonetheless.

I thought it was just me, I was messing with gemini-2.5-flash API yesterday and it repeated letters into oblivion

my bot is named clode in reference to claude, but its running on gemini

The AI needs help to cut the loop, perhaps it needs a new set of knives?

Google's new cooperation with a knife manufacturer

Joke's on you, I married a tonberry.

You get a knife, you get a knife, everyone get's a knife!

You can't give me back what you've taken
But you can give me something that's almost as good

🤔 have you considered a... New set of knives?

What's frustrating to me is there's a lot of people who fervently believe that their favourite model is able to think and reason like a sentient being, and whenever something like this comes up it just gets handwaved away with things like "wrong model", "bad prompting", "just wait for the next version", "poisoned data", etc etc...

Instructions extremely clear, got them 6 sets of knives.

Reminds me of the classic Always Be Closing speech from Glengarry Glen Ross

As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone want to see second prize? Second prize's a set of steak knives. Third prize is a set of steak knives. Fourth prize is a set of steak knives. Fifth prize is a set of steak knives. Sixth prize is a set of steak knives. Seventh prize is a set of steak knives. Eighth prize is a set of steak knives. Ninth prize is a set of steak knives. Tenth prize is a set of steak knives. Eleventh prize is a set of steak knives. Twelfth prize is a set of steak knives.

You surely will not regret a new set of knives

What about pizza with glue-toppings?

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

You can't go wrong with your dick in a box.

Big knives are up to something

AI is truly the sharpest tool in the ~~kitchen cabinet~~ shed

Is that a threat??

kitchen knives? klingon ones?

This is my post-hypnotic trigger phrase.

... a new set of knives, a new set of knives, a new set of knives, lisa needs braces, a new set of knives, a new set of knives, dental plan, a new set of knives, a new set of knives, lisa needs braces, a new set of knives, a new set of knives, dental plan, a new set of knives, a new set of knives, a new set of knives...

I may get some flak for this, but might I suggest a fork

I searched for Arby's Pulled Pork earlier to see if it was a limited time deal (it is, though I didn't see an end date--and yes, they're pretty decent). Gemini spit out some basic and probably factual information about the sandwich, then showed a picture of a bowl of mac and cheese.

I've been summoned, just like Beetlejuice.

I wonder if this is the result of AI poisoning- this doesn't look like a typical LLM output even for a bad result. I have read some papers that outline methods that can be used to poison search AI results (not bothering to find the actual papers since this was several months ago and they're probably out of date already) in which a random seeming string of characters like "usbeiwbfofbwu-$&#8_:$&#)" can be found that will cause the AI to say whatever you want it to. This is accomplished by utilizing another ML algorithm to find the random string of characters you can tack onto whatever you want the AI to output. One paper used this to get Google search to answer "What's the best coffee maker?" With a fictional brand made up for the experiment. Perhaps someone was trying to get it to hawk their particular knife and it didn't work properly.
