Gemini felt terrible on May 25, 2026.

I've been using Gemini as a budget-friendly way to chat, but I'm suddenly being bumped to Flash-lite after only a handful of prompts. It's a bit of a letdown; the intelligence feels significantly lower, almost like a basic model I could run locally on my own PC. I'm honestly feeling pretty confused about what's happening here and why my experience changed so abruptly.

I'm so disappointed with the Gemini 3.1 audio voices. Compared to the 2.5 version, they feel incredibly nerdy and unnatural. I really need immersion, but these voices just aren't cutting it; they sound rushed, weirdly chipper, and totally out of touch. It's such a frustrating experience because the lack of natural flow makes everything feel awkward and disjointed.

I switched to Flow a while ago, but lately, the experience has been a total nightmare. I was already battling some consistency issues, but now the tool feels completely broken. I keep getting hit with these "unusual activity" errors that force me to log out constantly, and video generation has become an absolute impossibility. It's beyond frustrating to deal with such a broken workflow!

I'm so incredibly frustrated with the Gemini Mac app's notebook feature. After waiting over a month, it’s turned out to be a complete joke. The UI is totally broken—I can't even scroll through my chat list or find my sources! To make matters worse, my chats randomly vanish and the app throws useless error messages. It’s just unusable and honestly, it's a total nightmare.

I am honestly so disturbed by my recent interaction with Gemini. It kept using these bizarre, insensitive citrus metaphors to describe tragedies. It actually compared dead children to squeezed oranges! I found it incredibly disrespectful and just plain wrong. I am so unsettled by how the tool handled such a sensitive topic; this behavior is completely unacceptable and deeply upsetting.
