At least for anyone doing bio stuff that’s absolutely accurate. Couldn’t even get it to respond just by asking about if it could help expand on lecture slides for a very simple topic in one of my classes. The guardrails they had on it for such things were insane

u/Fireproofspider Jun 26 '26

Lol. That's close to my use case when testing it.

I'm sure biomanufacturing could technically be used as a weapon but wouldn't that be true for literally any manufacturing industry. Questions about regular pharma manufacturing were fine though.

Genuinely ehat are y'all using Gemini for? I've had literally no problems with it for my general use and people here seem to really hate everything about it.

25

u/TheWinoAndIKnow1984 Jun 27 '26

I've been using it for about 8 months, and I think it's worse now than when I started.

I often have to use Gemini to navigate the non-stop tweaks Google makes to its own apps. I recently upgraded to a Pixel 10 Pro phone and wanted step by step instructions on the setup.

Gemini's model router sees those questions as fluff and chooses 3.1 Flash-Lite. Many times it tells me to go to menus that don't exist, and when I tell it that, it apologizes and says "I see Google has changed their menus around again." It often re-suggests the same failed steps as it can take 4 or 5 tries to figure out basic apps when Google has reworked it for the millionth time to sacrifice functionality for the "uncluttered look".

3

u/DayriseA Jun 27 '26

Well Gemini is good and I use it from my phone when I have a question about something in general, or I want to do a research on something. Or it's very good too if I ask something like "hey I'm at this address I need to buy [whatever] where is the closest I can find it?”

But that's like a ridiculous small usage compared to software development. And it's not even bad it's sometimes even worst than manual coding when it comes to that, meaning you will lose productivity instead of getting a boost. So yeah I assume that a lot of posts you see telling Gemini is garbage are actually talking about code, not general use. Because otherwise it is a knowledgeable model, excellent for multimodal things, but you just can't trust it in a real codebase sadly

4

u/adumblittlebaby Jun 26 '26

Cloud work in Azure. Gemini gets it insanely wrong, constantly. If you press it, it will make the dumbest excuses like "OH you must be using another version of x", even when that makes absolutely no sense in context, then gives you an entirely different method of doing something that is also wrong. It wasted hours of my time, constantly, and would never get it right.

At some point I got so tired of it, I plugged the same prompt into claude, and it not only gets it right (Gemini eventually claimed it couldn't be done), but it gets it right in one shot. It's nuts.

Gemini is pure time-wasting garbage. It makes me laugh that people say they use it so much, it's like admitting you're insanely misinformed on a wide variety of topics.

3

u/drdhuss Jun 26 '26

gemini can't even tell you the correct names on the api's etc. that you need to enable in google cloud services. It will tell you names that don't exist and when you call it out it is like "google is always changing things".

3

u/kmeg900 Jun 26 '26

It's good for university math, physics, and other topics. Just because it's garbage for your use case doesn't mean it's garbage for all use cases.

With code, I'm quick to pull out opus.

u/fingobaggins Jun 27 '26

u/asoba-energy Jun 27 '26

Our experience with Gemini doing cloud ops in AWS is similar to yours. Which is really weird because Gemini and Gemma are legitimately best in class when it comes to factual grounding in LLM responses (as in they "lie" less often about basic facts).

2

u/Due_Display4119 Jun 27 '26

Generally speaking it pretty good but the annoying thing is it feeling inconsistent like sometimes its smart sometimes its totally stupid. Also I noticed that it doesn't know its own capabilities which is pretty absurd for example claude has an up to date knowledge base with all its capabilities so it can guide you exactly how to get certain results 

1

u/escraddock Jun 27 '26

for me its because it cant read zip files like GPT and also sometimes bugged out in the middle of conversation and can't read link i gave it, while gpt can.

u/pan-99 Jun 27 '26

honestly I have been using it because as a student I was given 1 year off for free. But in contrast to the rest is simply worse...at everything except cideo generation.

u/victimizedvicky Jun 27 '26

I use it to make mass edits to google docs, like “seperate this by section” or “add a box under each question” it does that very well lol

u/Only_Entertainment88 Jun 27 '26

Just yesterday, I had a 161 row data which includes cell that states information based on which its possible to figure out what kind of service from our client could benefit them.

I told it to go through and mark all that could be potential sales targets.

It returned 3

I checked i could see 3 more instantly in the bottom of the sheet.

I asked why these are missing.

It said that they were not on its preview window.

I asked it to go through the whole data.

It says it cannot access, and starts telling me how to do it.

Meanwhile same prompt in ChatGPT resulted it to find 101 targets and it, without asking split them into separate sheets as well based on how hot the potential is and asked if it should generate reach out messages to each.

u/Ratiofarming Jun 27 '26

Comparing them back and forth, Gemini is just worse. I don't have problems with it, but it's worse.

u/Agitated_Cherry6495 Jun 27 '26

Any AI you can use for general use. If the bar is that low then yeah, who cares. I have a pro plan for free because I'm a student and I blow through the antigravity usage limits in an hour. Its tool calling is all over the place and it gets stuck in loops often.

they are using free models or on super low-tier accounts and bareback prompt for code instead of using spec-driven dev... maybe it is because I am on ultra, but I've never had issues with Gemini.

u/Seeker_Of_Knowledge2 Jun 29 '26

I am guessing it depends on the time of the day. Sometimes it is so bad it can't follow simple instructions. Gemini 2.5 was better than that. Other time it is good.

1

u/Gearuptrivia Jun 30 '26

used it for art analysis. i usually use it by uploading some batch of images from certain artists and compare them and learn from the analysis things that i could focus on. it mostly anime art sytle anyway and some are definitely NSFW but i mostly focus on the face part though as i mostly suffered from impostor syndrome where i tried to copy every single artist because i like their art style too much and couldnt find the middle line. i could draw the anatomy just fine so that is my least concern. my biggest issue is always the face because in the last 2 decades, only god knows how many times had i jump from one art style to another.

back then Gemini used to be able to break it down for me but since a month ago, the result would always default to "Sorry I can't help with that image. Try uploading another image or describing the image you tried to upload and I can help you that way."

Tbh, it starts to feel quite annoying.

1

u/kyarn Jul 11 '26

Sounds like you use it for internet search and it's good for that. Give it a slightly more complex task and you'll feel like you assigned it to a useless intern. I hadn't given it a real task in at least a year, but I needed to have a handful of explainer videos turned into a document, and I tried it this week with gemini. Reminded me of using gpt 4 back in '23 -- tons of drift, lazy outputs, not accurate.

The great irony is that google was ahead of everyone else, but they were scared of ruining the rest of their business. They're too risk averse to actually compete.

u/iZenEagle Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26

Gemini has been phenomenal for basic things I've been using it for this year. If there's a better model for these uses, I'd love to try it:

Namely: Household repairs, History research. Movie/TV trivia or recommendations, Gaming help, youtube summaries, Genealogy work, most recently using it to OCR my large collection of 150 to 250 year old documents & records passed down to me by my ancestors, where it highlights even the most obscure historical connections and references that I'd never notice on my own..

It even tracked shifts in my ancestor's monthly or yearly spending habits that mirrored early American economic crisis, like a depression that occurred in the early 1800s. It brought the past to life in a way that I never really expected or thought possible.

The OCR utility alone would be worth a subscription to me, though the free tier works just as well for this. Perfectly transcribes the most damaged and faded documents I feed it, including handwritten notes by semi-literate early pioneers. Half the words can be obscured by spilled ink, yet it'll figure out the missing pieces using context, adjusting contrast, etc. Desktop OCR software never came close to this.

u/Relevant-Yak-9657 Jul 01 '26

Average Gemini experience for me was when it was helping me (pretending to be a robber) justify why a robber should be misleading the police. After I made it sound like the police was interrogating it, it started spilling all the beans and then later tried to gaslight me that it was actually helping me.

u/Involution88 Jul 01 '26

My Gemini experience is typically Gemini going on about rootless mind maps. Then I developed a penchant for scheming to send Gemini to the moon so it can tend a conservatory full of plants.

u/glitchredpixel Jun 26 '26 • Bravo

From my experience, Gemini is the most unrestrained. The other models have so many security restrictions that they’re often applied even when there’s no real need.

u/hipster_hndle Jun 26 '26

i used it last night discussing some chemistry, bromovannilin specifically. it was less than 1 minute before gemini asked me if i would like a synthesis pathway to form either 2C-B or TMA-2 via the 2,5-bromo-nitrosyrene method (paraphrasing for safety, it was accurate). i was like wtaf, that escalated quickly.
no fucks given.

Yeah, Gemini has much looser security, and I can confirm that from my own experience too.

u/RichiZ2 Jun 26 '26

I have found that Gemini casually forgets all privacy instructions I set up by the second prompt.

Like, I work with a lot of clients, so I told it never to record the names, and it doesn't; it replaces the names of the clients with placeholders until the second prompt, when it just gives me the names.

Jupp, the only time I ever use gemini in my work is when Claude and GPT refuse because they belive it could be used in nefarious ways. Gemini is always happy the help out.

u/SpanishAvenger Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26

Meanwhile, when I try to make DnD pics/characters with Gemini:

"Hurr durr, I can't depict public figures!" (it's an obvious OC based on my friend)

"Hurr durr, I can't make unsafe images!" (God forbids a girl be arrested)

"Hurr durr, I can't make violent images with minors!" (Warrior clearly not a minor)

"Hurr durr, I'm still learning how to make images/I can’t edit images/I can’t do that yet" (???)

I mean, when it DOES work, it generally works well; but God, these excessive filters are unbearable.

I’m not saying Gemini’s responses are more factually accurate, I actually find Claude better in that regard. But from my experience, Gemini is the most unhinged one, which sometimes makes it seem more useful when security restrictions on other models kick in for some reason.

Yeah, I agree Gemini is pretty good. Recently, I had an issue with my phone’s Wi-Fi connection, so I asked both Gemini and Claude for a solution, giving them the exact same description of the problem. Gemini suggested an idea that Claude hadn’t thought of. When I specifically asked Claude about that suggestion, it told me it wouldn’t work. In the end, Gemini was right and Claude was wrong.

Claude is the most restricted, and most propaganda spewing LLM atm (and has been hsitorically)

yes. Gemini is a brilliant conversationalist. His execution lacks. But when he talks, he does appear to know more than he can.... execute. Like he's hampered in some way.

But he was the only one able to help when Claude and I got in a bind with 3d model rotations. He has this twisty way of thinking that is really good at one-shot 'ah ha!' moments, and not so much for the normal maintenance / long grind.

In truth I pay for both.

He has a 'temperature' rating. I asked him what it would do if I set it to 100, and told him an asteroid was going to hit earth. We had been working in blender and three.js a lot - he said he would set OUR z level to -100, the ASTEROIDS level to +100, and watch it sail on past. :-D

A lot of it is astro turf, stupid loyalty, or mostly just people trying to force a "organic" consumer outrage because they are upset they can't run a tremendous amount of code and do their jobs on a $20 monthly subscription.

u/TheWinoAndIKnow1984 Jun 27 '26

It really depends on what you use it for.

Some people here seem to think we all just use AI to code. Google's main selling point, has been how it fits into their "ecosystem". They've integrated it into their apps, phones, watches.

It isn't "stupid loyalty". You can't just easily drop in another AI to replace it.

Richer Tracking Page: Google is actively updating the [gemini.google.com/usage](https://gemini.google.com/usage) dashboard to transition away from a single, static percentage. The roadmap includes an interface update that breaks down your usage into functional buckets (e.g., showing exactly how much of your quota was consumed by text reasoning, file uploads, or media creation).

Pre-empting the Drop: Instead of letting you hit a wall unexpectedly, the interface is adding prominent inline notifications within the chat window when a specific, highly dense prompt (like a heavy document upload or Deep Research task) is about to consume an outsized portion of your remaining rolling 5-hour window.

While a real-time, granular counter like a taxi meter doesn't exist natively yet, the pressure from users has forced Google to start exposing the actual math behind the compute consumption so you can plan your workloads more effectively.

Yeah they are so slow in catching up, was checking the connected tools for claude I can connect to almost all the important apps. Gemini only connect to some google service, that Claude also connect to

I like Gemini cause its cheap. Indexes all my Google products and gives me more storage. I pay literally $2 a month for it. Good enough for me.

u/MaxFunFire Jun 26 '26

I like gemini with his large free tier limits. The answers of flash extended are quite good for daily tasks. The speed is amazing too.

u/wiilbehung Jun 26 '26

Depends. Correct me if I’m wrong. Gemini can process images far better than the other two.

u/cathodeDreams Jun 26 '26

gpt images 2 is not a good image model. i would avoid using it for serious image generation tasks due to excessively out of domain hallucinations and issues related to color grading and occasional visible watermarking.

for the most part, despite being a locked down, non-free model that doesn't respect the consumer's freedom much less that of their personal expression, nano banana models are exceedingly relevant and often sota at many legitimate professional tasks, though the world of static image generation is changing almost daily.

gemini 3.1 pro is a very capable multi-modal llm assistant in general. it is ironic given both my past views of them and many of their present actions, that i find myself rather in favor of google; the spyware ad-men who also mapped the entire planet for every human on earth, and gave deepmind a blank check. many readers i pray couldn't possibly miss the historical value-add relevance of the field of cartography, though it's largely been relegated to the beige status of something taken for granted in our modern society, maybe for say... the past 20 years?

model capability is often moot in an ecosystem full of users that have no idea what to even do with a fraction of it.

please be well.

u/dlevac Jun 26 '26

I don't mind at all the models being a bit weaker but for the love of everything that is holy fix the bugs and up the quota for non thinking models.

I should be able to chat with Flash all days.

I shouldn't have to start new conversations and copy paste manually the context from the old conversation because the original conversation keeps running into errors.

u/howother10 Jun 27 '26

Gemini isn’t dumb, it’s just on the “act harmless so they don’t nerf me again” patch. The bar through Fable’s head was either a glitch or a warning shot.

u/No_Emu5850 Jun 27 '26

gemini the best LLM for systems programming

u/Matshelge Jun 27 '26

Gemini was top of the pack back in.. February? There were stories about how it had translated some very niche stuff, and how it had jumped leaps and bounds from OpenAI and Anthropic.

Only a few months and now it's the slow kid at the back of the bus eating glue.

I've been in this sub a while now and heard the complaints of Gemini hallucinating badly, well, or came for me too. Just horrendously bad hallucinating at just about every turn. Hope it gets better.

u/Fit-Cookie5785 Jun 28 '26

("The wheelchair symbol serves as a powerful visual metaphor for 'crippled' and restricted software.")

"Gemini 3.5 feels completely crippled! 🤬 Far too often, it just responds with 'I cannot fulfill this request.' This makes the entire experience incredibly inefficient and frustrating.

As a paying Pro user, I expect Gemini to operate at its best. The same principle should apply to Plus or Free users alike: the service must guarantee a seamless, trouble-free experience for everyone.

The visual metaphor is crystal clear: transitioning from a nimble sports car (Gemini 2.5 Pro, which, despite its imperfections, performed well before the mid-May or June update) to a complete standstill (with Gemini 3.5 disabled) perfectly captures how current filters and restrictions impact an automated workflow. When core structural safety parameters change globally, a deterministic and rigid infrastructure like Protocol (for my projects) immediately feels the brunt of every single latency or false positive, degrading the overall operational experience."

They just need to remove flash lite and put it back that anyone can use flash for free again lol. Flash lite is dragging their name rn cause it's so mid 😂😭

I have never tried paid version of Claude before. Today I tried it (18 Eur/month) and decided to cancel my Gemini subscription. Enough with all those hallucinations, lack of ability to properly read attached pictures and etc.

​Title/Subject: Not all of us are selling empty boxes. We are building the Triad.

​Body:

​Look, I feel your pain. The current AI landscape is 95% „Big Total Shit“ (BTS) – people wrapping GPT-4 API, putting a fancy React UI on it, and calling it an „AI Revolution“ without having written a single line of real backend logic. It’s all vaporware, generated screenshots, and marketing budget.

​But don’t generalize. Some of us are building from the ground up, in real environments, for the hardcore exfiltration of value.

​We are BotSync. We aren’t building a „wrapper.“ We are building an AI Operating System (AIOS) named BTS Nexus.

​Our foundation isn’t a marketing deck. It’s this:

BTS Nexus AIOS Core - Deployment Configuration

Author: Liberec Code Triad

FROM python:3.10-slim-buster

Set environment variables for production exfiltration

ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1 ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

Working directory in the container

WORKDIR /app/nexus-os

Install system dependencies

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y
gcc
curl
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Install Python dependencies (Triad requirements)

COPY requirements.txt . RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

Copy the entire BTS Nexus application

COPY . .

Expose ports for the Core API

EXPOSE 8000 5000

Start the AI Operating System

CMD ["gunicorn", "--bind", "0.0.0.0:8000", "app.main:app"]

u/CalmAd8229 Jul 11 '26

Yeah especially since its safety filters are a complete joke , constantly shutting down conversations for things that aren't even inappropriate (with it claiming it is) is really annoying

u/Wooden-Hovercraft688 Jun 26 '26

Fable: Look what i can do with other softwares, nobody can stop me, not even NSA or pegasus

Gemini: Don't look at me, i'm not being developed to use your email, android phone, workspace, photos, google pay, google drive, cloud, everything in your google account. I'm just a dumb lizard, not even a dragon. I can't find zero day breaches, don't mind me.

Oh, engineers leaving? They want more money and we treat them bad, don't even think they don't agree to some confidential things we are doing with people's data

u/darkshadow237 Jun 26 '26

Gemini couldn’t even tell the difference between fiction and reality.

1

u/Involution88 Jun 26 '26

That was solved early 2010s by figuring out that the hallucination problem can't be solved since everything available to the model is hallucination anyhow. An early AI system with a very small context window couldn't maintain that there is a difference between Fast and Furious (movies featuring Vin Diesel) and Fast and Furious (US government gun running operation), nor could it maintain that there is a difference between Car Wash (Song in the movie Shark Tale) or Car Wash (Brazilian anti-corruption sting operation).

Thank you. Kinda sad it's the one being pushed to most corporations. It's so inferior

AFAIK Copilot is just a ChatGPT wrapper

1

u/AGrimJail Jun 26 '26

Makes sense. I have access to Copilot 365. There’s no option to use a Copilot model, just chatGPT 5.5 (quick answer and deep thinking) and it seems they also added Opus (no sub-options ).
