I am so incredibly frustrated right now. Ever since the latest Google app update, my Google Assistant has been completely broken; instead of actually listening to me, it just forces the Gemini app to open. It's a core part of my phone that I can no longer use, and the whole experience is just infuriating. It feels like a major feature was just stripped away without a real solution.

I've been using Gemini for a bit, and while I usually find it pretty dumb, today was on a whole different level. In 'Thinking' mode, it actually gave me a phone number for a credit card line that turned out to be a scam! I felt so unsettled when the 'agent' tried to get me to install a suspicious app. It's scary how easily this tool could have led me into a major fraud trap.
I am so incredibly frustrated with Google's AI design tool—it's honestly making me wonder what the point even is! I tried to use it for some creative brainstorming to move past standard left-side menus, but it completely shut me down. The tool's behavior was just absurd; it actually claimed that creating interfaces violates its policy! This error makes it feel totally useless.
I'm honestly so baffled by what's happening with Gemini. It used to respect my image dimensions perfectly, but now everything is just... random. I'll upload a specific portrait and it'll suddenly hand me a landscape or some weird, mismatched size. It's incredibly frustrating to deal with this lack of consistency; it feels like the tool has completely lost its ability to follow simple orientation cues.
I've been testing out various AI models lately, and I'm honestly quite surprised. I went in expecting nothing special, but Gemini completely caught me off guard. It was the only one that actually showed some real intelligence! It's such a relief to finally find a tool that actually gets it, instead of dealing with the frustration of the others which just weren't up to par.
