A screenshot of Gemini in Android Studio output showing "Let's do it. Let's wait. Let's start. Let's go." Repeated endlessly.

I was watching Jurassic World on my flight, when I looked over and saw the one year old child next to me flipping through a book about dinosaurs. I never actually aged, did I?
