This is so wild. The article frames Gemini to be the active part making the guy do things all the time. I cannot imagine how this works without roleplay-prompting and requesting those things from the chatbot. Not that I want to blame the victim and side with Google. It’s obviously dangerous to hand tools with good convincing-capabilities to unstable people. And weapons.
