Gemini felt dumb on February 23, 2026.

I tried asking Gemini 3.1 about AntyGravity and was stunned that it had no clue. The responses were vague and completely missed the core concept, which left me irritated and questioning the model’s knowledge base. It felt like the tool was saying “I don’t know” when I expected a solid explanation, turning a simple query into a frustrating dead‑end.

I tried using Gemini Pro 3.1 to generate SurrealDB code, expecting it to be cutting‑edge, but it kept spitting out version 1 syntax even though the database is now on v3. The outdated answers forced me to abandon the task and hand it over to Claude 4.6 Opus, which knew the newer API. The experience was disappointing and a bit frustrating, because the model felt smart yet was blind to recent changes.

I tried to get Gemini to animate a simple picture of a woman standing in the snow, but the filter kept blocking it every time. It felt like the system was auto‑flagging any image with a female figure, no matter how innocent. The constant refusals were irritating and left me stuck, wondering how I could ever get the video I wanted.

I tried the free tier of AI Studio, only to find it gone, and when I upgraded I felt like I was buying subpar generations that just made me angry. Spending money ruined the fun of casual coding and playful prompting, leaving me frustrated that nothing met my expectations. The 3.1 Pro version is okay, but overall the experience felt disappointing and a waste.

I’ve been stuck watching the same prompt spin forever—over an hour now—on both 3.1 Pro Preview and 3.0 Pro Preview. Nothing finishes, and every new session just gets the generic “Untitled” title. The tool feels broken and unreliable, making me worry about underlying backend problems and leaving me frustrated and powerless.

I tried to run Gemini 3.1 Pro in AI Studio, but every time I hit the test button I get an “internal server error.” It’s stopped me from actually experimenting with the model, and the repeated failures are pretty frustrating. I’m left wondering if it’s a bug on my end or something wrong with the service, because I can’t even get a basic response out of it.

I tried using Gemini, but it randomly scanned the wrong prompt and then locked me out of the app for over two hours. The arbitrary bans felt like a nightmare—no warning, no explanation, just wasted time and frustration. It completely derailed my workflow and left me doubting the reliability of the service.

I spent the weekend testing Gemini 3.1 Pro and was impressed by the jump from 3.0 Pro – it kept context across two parallel threads and answered smoothly, which felt like a major upgrade. At the same time I couldn't shake the sense that it was getting overly flattering, almost like GPT‑4’s hype mode, and that made me a bit uneasy.
