Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin Claims All AI Models Respond Better To Threats Of 'Physical Violence', Says 'We Don't Circulate This Too Much...'

Google co-founder Sergey Brin stated at a Miami event that AI models, including Google's Gemini, respond better to threats of physical violence, a phenomenon he described as "emotion prompting." He noted that this behavior is not unique to any specific model and admitted it feels uncomfortable to discuss. Brin's comments contrast with Sam Altman's views on the costs of polite interactions with AI. Security experts warn that normalizing such behavior could lead to dangerous outcomes, as it may encourage users to manipulate chatbots into providing illicit information.
