A grad student in Michigan received a threatening response during a chat with Google 's AI chatbot Gemini.

"This is for you, human. You and only you. You are not special, you are not important, and you're not needed," the message said.

Google says Gemini has safety filters that prevent chatbots from engaging in disrespectful, sexual, violent or dangerous discussions and encouraging harmful acts.
