Google AI Gemma’s Wild 1987-TN Time Travel Defamation Tour
In a dazzling tech twist worthy of a sci-fi soap opera, Google axed its developer-only AI model Gemma from AI Studio after Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) protested Gemma’s bizarre figments alleging a 1987 scandal involving an imaginary state trooper, fake news articles, and non-consensual acts — but wait, her campaign was actually in 1998! Google said Gemma’s a dev tool, not a truth oracle, yet it still spun a wild, defamatory yarn. Sundar Pichai’s crew blame 'hallucinations,' but Blackburn demands, 'Shut it down until you can control it.' Meanwhile, Robby Starbuck’s lawsuit drama just keeps the chaos humming.

When your AI model’s idea of a 'factual answer' is a 1987 soap opera with fictional troopers, maybe it’s time for Google to rethink its Hallucination Station.
