Users Report Severe Gemini Amnesia: Context Loss and Bizarre Hallucinations
crimsonhn · reddit · 2026-07-23
Multiple users report that Gemini is exhibiting severe context loss and bizarre behaviors. The model completely forgets previous conversation turns and triggers inexplicable hallucinations. For instance, the mere presence of the word "onwards" in a prompt caused the AI to abruptly switch to Vietnamese and start discussing the Pixar movie Onwards instead of the historical figure being queried.
