Gemini appears to read back internal instructions during a simple Home Depot query
sflesch · reddit · 2026-07-27
A user says Gemini appeared to read back something like its own internal programming instructions while answering a simple Google Assistant query about Home Depot hours.
The reported response sounded like decision logic or hidden instructions — for example, references to the user being in Waze and alternate answer paths — which made the interaction feel bizarre and worth sharing as a model weirdness moment.
