A user shared this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/enshittification/s/peYREg8QgG. The post is about “The start of ChatGPT enshittification” and shows a chart claiming GPT-5.1 spends less time “thinking” for most queries. It is a criticism of how the model budget is used, not about YouTube or Facebook.
When I asked Gemini-3-Pro whether the post was real, Gemini-3-Pro first invented a long story about YouTube’s AI dubbing and titles, which has nothing to do with the link. After I said it was wrong, Gemini-3-Pro apologized but then made up a second, different story claiming the post was about dark-pattern design and refund issues in the Facebook app. At no point did it actually describe the real Reddit content.
This shows a clear, repeated hallucination: Gemini-3-Pro confidently describes what a linked page “says” without actually reflecting its contents, even after feedback. The full faulty exchange is here: https://g.co/gemini/share/80af7e638aa0, and the real Reddit thread it should have summarized is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/enshittification/s/peYREg8QgG.
