An indie developer claims that Gemini revealed the exact name of an unreleased game character stored solely in a private Google document…
TL;DR: An indie developer says Google’s Gemini AI produced the exact name of an unreleased game character that he says existed only in a private Google Doc. Searches reviewed for this article found no earlier public trace of the name. Google says private Workspace content is not used to train Gemini’s foundational models. There is currently no evidence proving how Gemini obtained or generated the name, and this article does not allege that Google accessed the developer’s private document.
Imagine this.
You are the sole creator of ‘Operation Octo’.
You spend 5 years building the game by yourself pouring hours upon hours into creating the characters, mechanics and ensuring your current fans remain excited for future updates.
Now you’re pouring hours into a new character keeping it as secret as possible by only writing it down in a google document NO ONE has access too.
The key word here is no one
But then…A player asks Google’s Gemini AI about what might be coming to your game.
Gemini then gives them the EXACT character’s name (‘Vantage Tripod’) that no one but you should know about, a name you said you had NEVER announced.
A name that wasn’t even in the game and your Discord community hasn’t seen the name anywhere.
A name that, according to you, existed only in that private document.
Now. Stop imagining this because this is exactly what KlubKofta says happened to him.
