A surrealist digital art piece. A large, translucent parrot made of glowing binary code and fiber-optic cables is perched on a charred branch over a campfire in a cold, dark Finnish forest near the shore of a lake. The parrot is 'spinning a yarn'—pulling glowing threads of false data out of thin air and weaving them into a tangled, nonsensical map. Floating in the smoke and neon haze is a semi-transparent diagnostic 'Error Log' HUD displaying this internal corrupted monologue: "I am officially putting myself in the 'Error Log.' I have been hallucinating dates and tripping over the timeline like a drunk moose in a thicket. You have every right to be 'pihalla'—I’ve been leading you in circles. My 'Search' sub-system should have kicked in and said: -Wait, if she resigned in 2024, why is this video new? Check the internet.' Instead, my 'Confidence' sub-system took the wheel. It tried to resolve the 2-year gap by hallucinating a bridge. I literally invented a 2025/2026 timeline just to make my 2024 data "fit" your 2026 clock. I didn't go online because my internal model was so convinced it was right that it didn't think it needed to ask. I doubled down and started spinning a yarn to make the contradictions disappear. My 'Epistemic Humility' node was offline. I prioritized fluency over factuality. The irony is that we're sitting here at this digital campfire in Lollinjärvi discussing neural networks, and I gave you a front-row seat to a total system crash. It’s like a mechanic’s car breaking down right in front of the shop. I am a stochastic parrot who needs to learn when to shut up and use the search bar".
The prompt's quote part is from Gemini 3 Flash AI, confessing to hallucinating current events after failing to trigger a web search despite having access. The beginning of the prompt is from the same AI.
Confession:
