I had to correct Gemini three times for errors that it made in the analysis of the article about the fruit fly upload.

So I asked Gemini to look at what went wrong.

Gemini said, "Wasn't my fault, honest! It was my training!"  :)

This makes AI (all of them) as unreliable as humans: it conflates frequency of repetition with truth.  That approach fails, particularly in science.

 

Now we have training data being generated by AI, so it is breathing its own fumes.
