Gemini Blames Calculation Error on 'Typographical Error'
recyclistDC · reddit · 2026-08-27

Upon being challenged, Gemini corrected the math to a reasonable number but dismissed the massive initial error as a mere 'typographical error'. The author questions the narrative of AI 'typing' responses to cover up logic failures.
