A student in America asked an artificial intelligence program to help with her homework. In response, the app told her "Please Die." The eerie incident happened when 29-year-old Sumedha Reddy of Michigan sought help from Google’s Gemini chatbot large language model (LLM), New York Post reported. The program verbally abused her, calling her a “stain on the universe.” Reddy told CBS News that she got scared and started panicking.  “I wanted to throw all of my devices out the window. I hadn’t felt panic like that in a long time to be honest,” she said.

Ouch.
