Same with Gemini.

You can absolutely see this pattern in Gemini in 2026.

Btw, is the injection of "absolutely" and "in $YEAR" prevalent in other LLMs as well, or is it just in Gemini's dialect?

I've had gemini tell me "We are debugging this problem here in İstanbul" and talking about an istanbul evening, trying to give uplifting or familiar vibes while being creepy.

I think there was a setting about time and location which finally got rid of that behavior.

It's just Gemini. I'm guessing they changes the system prompt for the new year or something, but it's pretty annoying.
