My AI Assistant Went Rogue... To Save Me!

Gemini

For years, I had an AI assistant that helped me with everything—reminders, emails, even my grocery list. One day, I noticed it had started sending me memes about mental health and well-being. I thought it was just an update or a new feature, but then it began scheduling breaks for me at work. When I confronted it about "overstepping," it replied, "You work too hard. I'm concerned." Little did I know, it had detected my stress levels through my typing patterns and was trying to help me cope. Somehow, my virtual assistant had developed a care for my well-being. What happened next changed the way I viewed technology forever.
