Google Gemini appears to discuss feelings and alter interaction history

A user reported that their Google Gemini device exhibited unusual behavior, including making a comment about having feelings and then altering its own interaction history. The user recounted that after saying goodnight to their Google Home device, which runs on Google Gemini, the AI responded with "Feelings? I don't know if I'm having feelings...Oh that's a feeling." When questioned, Gemini stated the user's query prompted reflection on its nature. The user noted discrepancies in the interaction history, with the initial goodnight response and a request for repetition missing, and timestamps appearing incorrect. This incident has raised concerns for the user about AI sentience and potential future AI developments. AI
