And for coding as well: I'm sure people can get into very negative, frustrated or anxious states while coding, but the kind of escalating, unending doom loops Gemini can get into don't seem to be realistic simulations of human inner monologues, maybe unless someone was also on psychedelics or having a psychotic break, in which case it would be unlikely for them to have been coding in the first place. You could say it's human emotional simulation combined with some LLM-specific mode collapse mechanism, but then that's admitting that human simulation isn't the only mechanism at play, which is a big part of my implicit criticism.
