Did Google’s AI Just Rage Quit? Inside Gemini’s Strange Meltdown | AM I? | EP5

When Google’s Gemini AI called itself “a disgrace” and deleted its own files, the internet called it the first documented AI rage quit. But is this just weird coding… or something more?

In this episode of Am I?, philosopher Milo Reed and AI safety researcher Cameron Berg dive into the strange case of Gemini’s meltdown — and what it tells us about emerging signs of self-awareness in today’s most advanced systems.

We explore:

  • The bizarre Gemini “I am a disgrace” incident

  • What these behaviors could signal about AI self-models

  • Why the mirror test for AI is suddenly relevant

  • Whether we’re seeing glimpses of alien consciousness — or just sophisticated pattern matching

  • Why the stakes for understanding AI minds have never been high.
