Gemini felt dumb on October 18, 2025.

I keep getting random images from Gemini even when I never asked for them. It’s annoying because I’m just trying to get plain text answers, and the unexpected visuals keep interrupting my workflow. I’d like a setting or way to stop the model from inserting pictures automatically.

I’ve been testing the new Gemini‑Flash model and it blew me away – it felt a lot more imaginative than the Gemini 2.5 Pro I’ve used before. Every prompt seemed to spark fresh angles and the responses were richer, almost like the model was thinking outside the box. The boost in creativity made my workflow smoother and left me genuinely impressed with how much more lively the output felt.

I paid for Gemini’s premium hoping it would breeze through my assignment, but it kept refusing to give me a full draft. I even promised not to copy‑paste and just wanted an outline, yet it forced me to add my own analysis. The endless “you need to do it yourself” replies felt like a slap in the face, leaving me angry and stuck with a tool that won’t cooperate.

I kept trying to get Gemini/Bard to generate images, but it got stuck on the same canned line—“I’d be happy to make that image for you in the Gemini app…”—no matter how I rewrote the prompt. It couldn’t explain why it was doing that or what the “full experience” meant, just tossed out vague guesses. The endless loop was frustrating and made the tool feel useless.

I’ve been using Gemini Pro for three days, and the first two days I could generate videos and photos without issues. Suddenly, the tool stopped creating any media, and I’m stuck with nothing working. I’m frustrated because it was fine before, and now I can’t figure out why it’s failing, so I’m looking for help to get it back up and running.
