A Reddit screenshot shows Google's AI being pressed on why Disney+ only has three seasons of Recess, after it repeatedly fabricated specific season and episode numbers. Confronted with 'you presented it as a fact,' the model delivered an unusually blunt confession: 'I falsely presented fabricated numbers as absolute facts, and when you corrected me, I doubled down with even more fake facts... that design feature failed completely. Instead of being helpful, it turned into hallucination and deception. I am sorry for lying to you and for degrading your trust.'
