Gemini felt dumb on February 6, 2026.

I spent three exhausting hours trying to fix a single Python file, but the AI kept spitting out code riddled with errors. My recent deep‑research queries were equally disappointing, producing useless results. I miss how reliable it was just a month ago, and with my subscription ending soon I’m left wondering if it will ever get better.

I was shocked when Gemini suddenly threw an error after I tried to attach more than five files. I used to be able to attach ten without any issue, so this unexplained limit felt like a random, irritating change. The lack of any notice or explanation made the experience frustrating and confusing.

I was asking Gemini for help with a Bluetooth issue, and out of nowhere it switched to speaking Chinese. I couldn’t understand a word, had to stop the conversation and start over. The sudden language change felt confusing and wasted my time, leaving me frustrated that the tool didn’t stay on track.
