Users Report Gemini Answering Coding Questions With Totally Unrelated Australian Tax Info
mic_n · reddit · 2026-08-23
A Reddit user reports severe Gemini hallucination-like behavior: after uploading a zip of source code and asking coding questions, Gemini responded with content about Australia's Unique Student Identifier (USI); a fresh chat came back with Tax File Number information instead—entirely unrelated to the request.
The user says they've ruled out their own mistakes across multiple attempts and suspects a bug in how Gemini handles uploaded files or context. This remains an anecdotal observation of Gemini misbehavior.
