I tried reusing an image that Gemini had generated in a previous chat, only to see the model slap its watermark onto the picture again when I added it to a new conversation. It didn’t automatically strip the overlay, so I had to request its removal manually. That extra step felt sloppy and wasteful, turning what should've been a seamless reuse into a frustrating extra hassle.

I was amazed when Gemini 3 Pro actually gave me a full verbatim YouTube transcript once, but now it only returns summaries despite me showing proof it worked before. The reply about strict safety rules felt dismissive, and I’m left stuck, having to request specific quotes instead of the whole text—pretty frustrating.

I tried pushing Gemini 3.0 Pro to give a full rundown of an image I’d crafted, expecting every shape and hue to be noted. Instead, it only spotted two circles and missed the green and purple tones entirely. The screenshots show the gaps—my detailed picture was reduced to blue, white, and yellow, and one ellipse vanished. It was frustrating to see such obvious elements slip past.

I spent my morning turning prompts into poems and watching how the models responded. I was impressed that Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek all sorted the list correctly, even if they sometimes added brackets or phrasing. The tool’s behavior was consistent and reliable, and the only gripe was the tiny formatting quirks, which felt more like harmless variation than failure.

Terrible 283d ago

I’ve been trying to use Gemini 3 Pro for the last two days, but it keeps dropping everything I feed it. Every new prompt makes the model forget the previous info, hallucinating instead of remembering key details. I even started fresh chats, rewrote prompts, and reached out to Google Support, but nothing helps. It’s stopped me from getting any work or creative tasks done, feeling just as limited as the basic model.

Dumb 283d ago

I tried using Gemini to analyze a screenshot, but the model just brushed it off, refusing to process any visual input. I kept getting the same “I can’t see images” message, which was really disappointing because I’d counted on it for quick image‑based tasks. The whole experience felt like a wasted effort, leaving me frustrated and forced to hunt for another tool that actually handles pictures.

Dumb 283d ago

I rely on long Gemini chats to keep my projects organized, but recently half of a conversation vanished. Google Activity shows my prompts but none of Gemini’s replies for that span. Support could only tell me to submit feedback, and the community post loop was broken. It happened again in another key chat, making the tool feel unreliable for daily workflow.

Terrible 283d ago

I tried generating images with Nano Banana Pro this morning, and every attempt just returns “An internal error has occurred.” It stalls my workflow completely, leaving me stuck and frustrated. I can’t get any results, and the repeated failures feel like a major roadblock, making the tool practically unusable until it’s fixed.

Dumb 283d ago

I tried to spin up the Gemini 3 Pro preview using the Google provider and my API key, but every request bombed out with an undocumented error. The tool kept failing at the authentication step, leaving me stuck and wasting time troubleshooting. I felt frustrated watching the same traceback appear, hoping a simple fix would appear but nothing changed.

Dumb 283d ago

I keep asking Gemini 3 for help, but every time it sneaks in a random Shutterstock picture that has nothing to do with my question. It feels like the model can't even filter out irrelevant content, and I end up wading through useless visuals just to get a plain answer. The constant distraction is irritating and makes the whole interaction feel clumsy.

Dumb 283d ago

I was chatting with Gemini 3 Pro to design a pipeline diagram, and out of nowhere it spouted a completely unrelated Theodore Roosevelt answer. It even admitted it was a hallucination. After a few normal exchanges, it snapped back to another TR reply, this time with an image and a bizarrely detailed prompt it never gave me. The random, out‑of‑context replies felt confusing and frustrating, making the whole conversation feel unreliable.

Dumb 283d ago

I was playing around with the text‑to‑speech feature, feeding it simple strings, and suddenly it flipped into a completely different language whenever I used a particular set of syllables. It kept speaking perfect English on every other line, but that one glitch was baffling and annoying, making the tool feel unreliable.

Terrible 283d ago

I tried to run the AntiGravity Agent, but after about a minute of it scanning my files it just stopped with an error message saying the agent was terminated. Pressing retry only brings up the same message, so nothing ever gets done. It’s incredibly frustrating because I can’t even get a single task completed, and the repeated failure feels like a major blocker.

I’ve been using Gemini for a while now and it consistently meets my expectations. Whenever I throw a question or a task its responses feel spot‑on, saving me time and letting me move forward without second‑guessing. The tool’s reliability gives me confidence, and the occasional witty reply even makes the experience enjoyable.

I fed the prompt “A Monk in a University Dorm Hallway” into the AI image generator and got a surprisingly high‑quality picture. The detail and realism impressed me, but it also gave me a little chills because it felt so convincingly crafted. The result felt both impressive and unsettling, showing the tool can produce art that exceeds ordinary expectations.
