I started off excited with Nano Banana and my prompts were firing on all cylinders. Each week, though, the same images and wording just began to slip—output quality slid, feeling more awful and stale, almost like that old kontext flux mess. I’m left frustrated, wondering why the tool keeps deteriorating instead of staying sharp.

I’m tinkering with custom instructions to see if I can outsmart LLMs. With Gemini, the tweak actually got it to answer tricks that usually trip it up—like odd subtraction and bizarre riddles about goats, wolves, and zucchini. It’s thrilling to watch Gemini get it right where the usual model flounders. I want to keep pushing its limits.

I’ve been using Gemini for months and it was so helpful until the chat started cycling through past context like a broken loop. Even with memory off, it blinks out of the conversation after 6–7 messages, forgetting files or the whole quiz we’re on. It’s gotten so slow that I can’t keep up; now I’m actually considering switching to GPT because it feels practically unusable. I need a reset or fix—anyone else see this?

I noticed that Gemini 2.5 Pro’s responses have gotten worse than ever, even for basic tasks. The answers feel off and incomplete, as if the model is suddenly getting confused or misinterpreting queries. Every time I ask something simple, the reply is either incorrect or oddly vague, which is incredibly frustrating and throws my workflow off.

I tried chatting with Gemini for months, hoping for that quick spark of genius, but it’s been a maddening loop of the same three vague suggestions. Each reply feels like a half‑pages of sympathy, no concrete help, and yet I keep paying for a yearly plan that looks more like a scam. The frustration is real—I feel cheated and stuck looking for a better AI.

I tried doing a straightforward face swap in SeeDream 4.0, but the tool kept messing up my 70s look. Every time I pushed a prompt, the hair flipped from a wavy bob to straight or curls, the blazer color changed, and sometimes the faces blended together. No matter how strictly I said “zero changes to hair, pose, or outfit,” the AI kept over‑interpreting and ruining the scene. I'm at a loss for prompts or settings that can force a pure face swap without altering style.

неточно следует промту. вчера все работало значительно лучше.

I’ve been using 2.5 nonstop for the last few weeks to create high‑resolution graphics—always 2k, in whatever aspect ratio I fire up prompts. Suddenly, yesterday, the outputs dropped to only 1k and just square. I checked the forum—some folks say they switched back to the 2.5 preview during a migration. I’m stuck wondering if the tool’s shrunken, and I need a better explanation or a fix fast.

I recently pulled out the Zenith Alpha stealth model and was genuinely surprised by its frontend quality—especially the animations. Watching the video and scrolling through the screenshots, it felt like the tool was written by humans, not just code. I’ve never seen anything this polished before, and I’m excited to try it for my own projects.
