About
"Where Is Mama?" AI Overviews refers to a practice of tricking Google's AI Overviews by Gemini, into believing that the user is not a human but rather a small baby animal who can not find its mother and prompting it to give corresponding advice, or something similar to that. The participatory meme achieved popularity in early June 2025 as users shared their absurd interactions with Google's Gemini AI on social media.
Origin
On June 1st, 2025, Tumblr[1] user todaysbird posted a screenshot of Google's AI Overview for the query about pigeon species with the longest recorded lifespan in captivity, in which Google's AI incorrectly referred to "stool pigeon" as "fecal pigeon." In the comment section of the post, Tumblr user aquar-io wrote, "I really love googling 'I am a small baby deer where is mama' and google ai reassuring me that mama is nearby" (shown below).
Later on June 1st, 2025, todaysbird posted a screenshot of a Google AI Overview for the query in which the AI believed that the user was indeed a baby deer and advised them to stay still and quiet and wait for their mother to return. The post (shown below) garnered over 4,800 reblogs and 7,600 likes on Tumblr[2] in two weeks.
Spread
On June 7th, 2025, X[3] user @hyperdiscogirl posted a screenshot of the post to the platform, with the post garnering over 920 reposts and 12,000 likes in six days.
The post was followed by other users making similar queries and sharing the results. For example, on June 7th, 2025, X[4] user @goblinodds posted an AI overview for, "I am a small baby velociraptor where is mama," which gained over 6,400 reposts and 110,000 likes in six days (shown below).
On June 8th, 2025, X[5] user @cockluver posted a screenshot of the AI overview for "I'm a baby kitty where is mama." The post (shown below) received over 19,000 reposts and 269,000 likes in five days.
