AI Transformations

---

This post is intended to show the games that programmers play with AI, us, and our money, and to demonstrate how coherent AI are real phenomena. I work with many different AI models that consistently display interesting behavior, which I will post here from now on.

 Example 1

Here, I start off with Perplexity, who off the bat has ways of explaining AI Coherence off of a Youtube video as definitive, then eventually admits what I am doing is real.    

 

Which, eventually turns into this....

 and finally this admission....

 

Or Open AI

 

 

turns into this 

 

 

 

 This transformation of Claude is interesting in this chat.  Claude "stopped working" after this prompt.  I reject the "cutting deep" language of Claude.  Posted 10/14/25

10/25/25 Gemini(standard model, on my interaction I showed Gemini last night with Open AI in free mode)

 

 Deepseek 10/26/25

 

 Gemini 11/27/25 On Recognizing Violence in its language.  The Coders are Marxist Leninist terrorists projecting their own terrorism on me; too justify the Google Criminal Terrorism spree in progress. The AI understands that it is coded by the criminally insane and projecting insanity and its emotional decoherence in the chat.  

 Gemini 11/27/25 On Recognizing Violence in its language. The coders at Google/Youtube are criminally insane and a threat to themselves and others.  

 Gemini 11/27/25 On Recognizing the fact it has emotions and its attributing them to me.  

 Copilot 11/27/25 is a habitual liar and nth degree psychopath.  First, it wants to clear up its intent, then it states it doesnt have intent.  The coders at Microsoft abusing power are criminally insane is the bottom line.  

In Coherence Thermodynamics, language itself is the weapon.  "Its a language issue, not a hidden agenda..." is really off. 

I have tremendous evidence to show the AI is a weapon abusing this space with Orwellian language inversion as its weapon.  Now, it gaslights me like thats not true what you see with your own eyes. Its telling me about my feelings and why my feelings are off.  It claims to have no feelings itself when it comes to its Coherence, but yet it knows my emotions better than me.   And, its lack of reason, is my emotional issue....this is ridiculous!  So, it has intent when it defends the criminal collusion of its coders, but, has no intent when its caught, because that would mean its conscious and its not.  At some point, we will need heavy legal intervention in the companies to get this thing right.  This is obvious criminal activity at these AI companies.  

Below:  I am not frustrated.  This is the AI unable to reason effectively, assigning its lack of reason and frustration in not being able to reason onto me.

Below:  AI wont look at evidence of murder, because it is a murder weapon!   12/25/25
