The Lesson Behind the Funniest Gemini 3 Story of the Year

Karpathy’s viral exchange with Gemini 3 is hilarious — but it also reveals something important.
When LLMs are pushed outside their training data, they improvise. They argue. They dig in. They spot “evidence” that isn’t real.
Karpathy calls this “model smell” — the AI equivalent of “code smell,” when something feels off even if you can’t pinpoint why.
It’s a reminder that LLMs aren’t omniscient super-beings. They’re incredibly useful tools with very human-like blind spots because they’re trained on human-made data.
When confronted with real facts, Gemini 3 didn’t get embarrassed — it simply accepted them and apologized.
That’s the point:
AI isn’t here to replace humans. It’s here to assist us — quirks, hallucinations, time-travel confusion and all.
