A indie dev has claimed Google’s Gemini AI revealed the exact name of an unreleased game character that only existed in a private Google Docs file.
According to the developer behind Operation Octo, a player asked Gemini about future content in the game. The AI responded with the name “Vantage Tripod”.
“Somehow, the AI spitted out the exact & highly specific character name ‘Vantage Tripod,’ which I had never mentioned to anyone.”
The developer says the name had never been shared publicly, posted on Discord, or added to the game’s files.
“The scarily accurate & very specific name ‘Vantage Tripod’ was never written anywhere except in my own Google Doc.”
After searching their Discord server history, he said there were no previous mentions of the name.
