I asked Gemini for 3 apps to post on Nostr. In one prompt, it gave me a CLI app, a simple GUI app using Tornado FX (text field + button) and a Compose Android app. Everything works, except for a the use of a `nostr-kt` library that doesn't exist.
When I pressed about, Gemini hallucinated the whole library description and what the methods do. When I ask for the website for that library, Gemini replied:
https://github.com/vitorpamplona/nostr-kt
It takes some fucking balls to hallucinate something and then say it came from a repo that doesn't exist on my own username.
