Gemini felt dumb on October 30, 2025.

I’ve been using Gemini to co‑author a collaborative story, setting up detailed world rules and mechanics. After a couple of hours it suddenly wipes the whole context, treating my latest prompt like the first one, and there’s no way to recover the lost narrative. Even when I restate the rules, it keeps hallucinating variations. The constant forgetfulness and rule‑breaking feel extremely frustrating and break the flow of my creative process.

I’ve been trying to use Gemini on mobile for almost two months, and it’s still stuck at a 1:1 aspect ratio. Every time I need a different canvas size, I hit a wall—just can’t change it. I know I could hop onto AI Studio, but on my phone it’s clunky, slow, and totally impractical for quick creative work. It feels like a basic feature that should’ve been fixed ages ago, and the ongoing limitation is really frustrating.

I’ve been using Gemini for drafts and lately it’s gotten really buggy. The text often sounds robotic and flat, something I didn’t notice a few months back. It feels like the model’s quality has slipped, making me double‑check every sentence. The experience is frustrating because I used to rely on it for smooth, natural writing, but now I’m constantly correcting its output.

I tried the new Gemini CLI 0.11.0 with Jules integration and was impressed—Jules handled coding tasks on its own without me stepping in. The automation felt smooth and reliable, making my workflow feel effortless and surprisingly efficient.
