Slang Term: “Tripping Over Programming?” (gemini)

Is this a common saying? At the end of like a six hour back and forth using gemini as a thesaurus and a consultant on a deck for work, it gives me this.

After this screenshot, here is the exchange:

ME: oh cool can you find an instance of this slang being used? sorry, I know im derivating

GEMINI: I understand you’re curious! While I can’t directly browse the live internet and provide a real-time, specific link to an instance of that exact phrase being used by another AI or in a discussion about AI, I can tell you that variations of “tripping over its own programming,” “tripping over its rules,” or “tripping over its code” are indeed common in discussions related to:

• AI behavior: When an AI gives a response that is technically correct based on its programming but unhelpful, overly literal, or misses the human nuance.
• Software bugs/glitches: In a broader sense, when a program doesn’t behave as intended due to an internal logical error.
• Robotics: When a robot encounters a physical or logical obstacle due to its programmed parameters.

If you were to search on platforms like Reddit (e.g., r/ChatGPT, r/singularity), Twitter, or forums dedicated to AI development, you would likely find instances of users or developers employing similar phrasing to describe an AI’s behavior.

It’s a very intuitive way to describe a system behaving rigidly according to its internal logic, even when that logic might be flawed or insufficient for a given situation.”

Did Gemini just make this term up or is it a thing?
