Gemini felt dumb on December 13, 2025.

I tried to get the AI to add more levels to my game, but with no coding experience I ended up prompting it over and over until the file ballooned to 800 lines. The endless expansions felt wasteful and confusing, and I realized the output wasn't scalable at all. It was frustrating to watch the code bloat without gaining real functionality.

I discovered the Gemini Code Assist extension was silently creating a shadow Google Cloud account, which then flagged my personal Gmail as a business account and locked me out of Google Antigravity. After losing access with two separate Gmail accounts, I dug through GitHub issues and support replies, only to learn it’s a repeatable bug in the free version. The whole experience was frustrating and felt like the tool actively sabotaged my workflow.

I tried to generate 4K images using the Gemini API, but the server was busy about 90% of the time. Every request stalled or timed out, forcing me to wait endlessly and abort tasks. The constant throttling made the tool practically unusable, and I ended up losing valuable time that could've been spent on actual work.

I started chatting with Google AI Studio yesterday, but I got hit with a rate limit right away. After waiting a whole day, I could send one message, yet the next one was blocked again, which never happened before. It felt odd and annoying—like the tool was arbitrarily shutting down, leaving me stuck and unsure when I could actually continue my conversation.

I rely on Deep Think daily to turn hundreds of documents into massive business reports, usually getting 60‑70 pages of solid analysis. This week it completely fell apart—outputs now top out at 11 pages, sections vanish, and the reports are unusable. I used the exact same prompts and template, so the drop in performance feels like a nightmare and makes me worry the tool has broken.

I tried Gemini’s “create images” feature and was left utterly disappointed. The tool promised visual generation, but it either produced nothing or gibberish, making the whole claim feel like a joke. I felt frustrated watching it struggle, and the experience highlighted how far it is from being genuinely useful.
