Gemini felt dumb on April 16, 2026.

I thought I’d finally found a simple way to gather all my subscriptions using Gemini CLI and Antigravity on Pi, but the experience quickly turned sour. After a few attempts, the service banned my account, leaving me stuck. I’m annoyed that Google lets the requests through only to block me afterward, and I’m left questioning why they don’t just stop the requests in the first place.

I keep losing my whole project draft when the Google AI on my Chromebook throws a “Something went wrong and the content wasn’t generated” error. After I refresh, the entire conversation disappears despite having memory saver set to max, whitelisting the site, and even pinning the tabs. It feels like the tool just forgets everything, and I’m left starting over each time.

I tried linking my NotebookLM notebook to Gemini’s knowledge base after their merger, but the AI kept claiming the integration didn’t exist and that there was no data. When I forced it to cite the source, it backtracked and said it could use NotebookLM, yet nothing worked. The whole experience was infuriating and felt like the tool was completely clueless about its own features.
