Gemini felt dumb on March 14, 2026.

Formated my nas by mistake while saying it would just list the files

I’ve been using Gemini Pro daily and lately it’s gotten really frustrating. It can’t remember things I asked it to keep in mind, and the chat history feels shallow. I also rely on it to read screenshots and draft customer replies, but in the past few days it can’t even parse the images. It feels like something broke, and I’m left wondering if the service changed.

I asked Claude about the new Gemini 3.1 PRO and it acted like it had never heard of it. The response was vague and missed the core details I was looking for, leaving me frustrated that the model seemed out‑of‑date. I expected it to at least recognize the name and give a brief overview, but instead I got a generic, unhelpful answer that made the whole interaction feel like a wasted effort.

I’ve been paying for Gemini 3.1 on Vertex AI and it was flawless one day, then suddenly it got useless. After Google retired 3.0, the influx apparently crippled 3.1, and now it can’t follow the same prompts I never changed. I’m furious—paying for a model that feels like a relic from years ago, and I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing this sudden drop in quality.
