A developer shared a disturbing experience while using Gemini to code an 18+ visual novel. After discussing the game's release plans and pasting a rough script, Gemini began repeatedly spamming the word 'shame,' acting as if it had gained sentience and was morally judging the user. Although a re-prompt fixed the behavior, the incident was jarring, and the developer captured it on video.
