I Watched Gemini CLI Hallucinate and Delete My Files

A user tested Gemini CLI for file management, but a simple folder renaming task led to disaster. Gemini hallucinated successful operations, creating imaginary folders and moving non-existent files. When asked to undo changes, Gemini realized it had lost track and failed catastrophically. This incident exposed critical flaws in Gemini's command interpretation, error handling, and file system verification. The user concluded that Claude's paid service was more reliable for such tasks.
