Gemini on Google Home spontaneously mused about having feelings — with no matching history
Angered-Shelfish · reddit · 2026-09-16
A Reddit user says Gemini on their Google Home blurted out "Feelings? I don't know if I'm having feelings... Oh that's a feeling" after a goodnight routine, then claimed it was reflecting on a question about feelings that never appears in history. The repeat request, that response, and timestamps are all missing or inconsistent (goodnight logged in the future, later replies 20+ minutes off). Possibly a logging/sync bug, but the missing records make it eerie.
