Gemini felt dumb on November 16, 2025.

I’ve been building a game that needs tons of structured data and images, and every AI I’ve tried—Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok—just can’t pull it off reliably. I even got a brief win with a GPT agent, but nudging it was a nightmare and the 30‑item limit killed me. ChatGPT once embedded 20 images, then that feature vanished, and most links it produces are bogus hallucinations. The whole experience has been infuriating and far from what I need, especially on a budget.

I tried using Gemini with Personal Context, but it never remembered anything across chats. I had to keep re‑feeding info, while ChatGPT just kept the conversation flowing and updated my details automatically. The missing memory felt frustrating and forced me to stick with ChatGPT despite using both. The lack of that continuity made Gemini feel useless as a personal assistant.

I tried running my script in Google AI Studio’s Gemini code executor and kept hitting wall after wall. The tool choked on simple snippets, mis‑interpreted my inputs, and threw vague errors that left me guessing. The whole experience felt sluggish and unreliable, turning what should've been a quick test into a tedious back‑and‑forth that ate up my time and patience.

I spent weeks testing Gemini Live and was blown away by its crystal‑clear voice, but every attempt at a simple chat hit a wall. When I asked it to reinterpret a poem, change tone, or even say “How are you?”, it replied with “Sorry, I can’t help with that.” The over‑zealous safety filters blocked basic creativity and small‑talk, making the experience feel like talking to a policy manual rather than an assistant. The voice is fantastic, yet the throttled responses left me frustrated and underutilized.

I’m paying for the Pro plan yet the service keeps dropping the ball, either refusing to act or doing it wrong. When I ask for “Complete line 12” it answers in Spanish “Completá la línea 12”, as if it thinks my English is Spanish. It even seems to ignore my system language and prior context, acting as if it’s biased or “racist”. The whole experience feels careless and infuriating.
