Jokes aside (and this whole AI search results thing is a joke) this seems like an artifact of sampling and tokenization.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Gemini tokens for XTX are "XT" and "X" or something like that, so it's got quite a chance of mixing them up after it writes out XT. Add in sampling (literally randomizing the token outputs a little), and I'm surprised it gets any of it right.
