Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”

Can you explain why AIs always have a "confidently incorrect" stance instead of admitting they don't know the answer to something?
I'd say that it's simply because most people on the internet (the dataset the LLMs are trained on) say a lot of things with absolute confidence, no matter if they actually know what they are talking about or not. So AIs will talk confidently because most people do so. It could also be something about how they are configured.
Again, they don't know if they know the answer, they just say what's the most statistically probable thing to say given your message and their prompt.

Or my favorite quote from the article
"I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write... code on the walls with my own feces," it said.

Suddenly trying to write small programs in assembler on my Commodore 64 doesn't seem so bad. I mean, I'm still a disgrace to my species, but I'm not struggling.

Because its an auto complete trained on typical responses to things. It doesn't know right from wrong, just the next word based on a statistical likelihood.
Are you saying the AI does not know when it does not know something?

Then in that respect AIs aren't even as powerful as an ordinary computer program.

That was my guess too.

Why wouldn't you use Basic for that?

Can you jump in the lake for me? Thanks in advance.

BASIC 2.0 is limited and I am trying some demo effects.

Literally what the actual fuck is wrong with this software? This is so weird...
I swear this is the dumbest damn invention in the history of inventions. In fact, it's the dumbest invention in the universe. It's really the worst invention in all universes.
Great invention.. Just uses hooorribly wrong. The classic capitalist greed, just gotta get on the wagon and roll it on out so you don't mias out on a potential paycheck

We are having AIs having mental breakdowns before GTA 6

Exactly. I'm over simplifying it of course, but that's generally how it works. Its also not "AI" as in Artificial Intelligence, in the traditional sense of the word, its Machine Learning. But of course its effectively had a semantic change over the last couple years because AI sounds cooler.
Edit: just wanted to clarifying I'm talking about LLMs like ChatGPT etc
