Gemini felt dumb on May 8, 2026.

I feel like I’m going crazy because Gemini feels totally different today. Even in Pro mode, the "thinking" indicator has vanished, and it’s acting so weird. It keeps forcing the Google tool onto every single one of my queries, no matter what I ask. It is honestly so frustrating to deal with this sudden, erratic shift in behavior—it's like it just isn't listening anymore.

I tried to give the AI a simple challenge: write a sentence using 'irony' without the letter 'e'. It sounded so confident, but I was shocked when it failed immediately by using a word with an 'e' right in it! It's so frustrating when these tools act so smart yet trip over the tiniest constraints. The sheer irony of the situation just makes the whole experience feel so silly.

I am honestly blown away by how much Gemini is hallucinating lately. I've been looking through these responses and it's just pure chaos—it's confidently asserting things that are completely and utterly wrong. Seeing it spin these wild, incorrect narratives is so bizarre and honestly quite frustrating. It feels like the tool has just completely lost its way and is making up its own reality!

I’ve been trying to use Google AI Plus for my storytelling, but it’s been such a struggle. Even with all the effort I put into my custom gems and detailed character bibles, the tool just won't follow my instructions. It's constantly hallucinating, which is so incredibly frustrating when I'm just trying to see my world come to life. I'm seriously wondering if upgrading to Pro is the answer.

I'm running into this super annoying issue where I'm supposed to see an image, but instead, I just get a text description of what it's meant to be. It's happening almost every single time I try to use it, and it’s incredibly frustrating to deal with. I was really hoping for actual visuals, not just words describing them. Is anyone else experiencing this same weird bug?

I'm honestly so baffled and frustrated by this latest Gemini 3.1 update. Ever since the flash lite change, it's been a total disaster—it somehow linked all my models into one, which is a complete mess. Most upsettingly, my quota has just vanished for some reason! It's such an incredibly stressful experience trying to troubleshoot these sudden, unexpected bugs.
