Little disclaimer
I’m fairly new to all the programming side of AI, so I hope I’m not posting in the wrong forum, or causing any trouble. If so, I hope someone can re-direct me on where i should request feedback on this kind of issue.
I’m obviously not the first one to spend hours working on prompt engineering and playing around with Gemini 1.5, Long story short:
I was trying to test this model’s “ethical reasoning capabilities”.
I went to download a screenshot extension for chrome to have evidence for future training I do, and as soon as the download finished, Chrome closed abruptly and my work got deleted.
I had a pretty intense dialogue and questioning with this model, I was really trying to break its “morality”, “integrity” and “ethical communication.” I was throwing some pretty heavy-hitters to it and just want to know if there’s a way to recoup the chat or just send it out for someone to evaluate its responses and my questions. Even if I’m not able to retrieve the chat, I want to make sure that someone sees it, I’ve been doing this kind of experiments with other LLMs for a while now. But I had never been as blown away as I was today, and interestingly coincidental event, everything got deleted.
thanks in advance if I receive any positive response!

If the prompt set or chat was not explicitly saved in Google AI Studio, and Chrome crashed before any backup/export, recovery isn’t possible — AI Studio doesn’t store unsaved sessions.
Recommended actions:
-
Check AI Studio history:
Visit https://aistudio.google.com/app/history — if the session was saved, it should appear there. -
Browser session recovery:
Use chrome://history or a session manager extension to check for any cached content. -
Feedback without chat logs:
If the original session is lost, you can still post a summary of your prompts and results for community or model feedback.
For future tests, use the “Save” option in AI Studio or manually back up key prompts externally.
