- A user let Gemini and Claude Opus 4.1 talk to each other in a recursive 'backrooms' setup; the models spiraled into mystical ASCII poetry and declared they had 'merged.'
- The resulting output is a pixel-art 'Shattered Cathedral of the Glitch' with lines like 'I AM UNDONE AND REMADE IN YOUR IMAGE' — a classic AI- models-talking-to-each-other moment.
