I asked Gemini for 3 apps to post on Nostr. In one prompt, it gave me a CLI app, a simple GUI app using Tornado FX (text field + button) and a Compose Android app. Everything works, except for a the use of a `nostr-kt` library that doesn't exist. When I pressed about, Gemini hallucinated the whole library description and what the methods do. When I ask for the website for that library, Gemini replied: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/nostr-kt It takes some fucking balls to hallucinate something and then say it came from a repo that doesn't exist on my own username.

Most fun I've had with an AI was convincing one that I was from the 2700s, and I found this chatbot in the ancient archives. So it pretended to know about the "history" from the 2000s to the 2700s. And it told me about the political upsets, shifting alliances and rivalries, and even the "resource wars" of the 25th century. And every time you ask for details about any of its made up BS, it made up more BS, it was endless. I thought it was hilarious at the time but the implications of a chatbot that will purposely and endlessly lie is no bueno.
