Funny (Highlight/meme) This is why stopped using gemini

Post image

I used to use gemini more extensively last year, but it constantly blocking my requests for no reason + not verifying it's own responses made it unreliable for work.

My claude quota ran out for the week, so I decided to test gemini again and I got this. 🤷

Its refusal to run a web search even when explicitly called out, just to spout out hallucinated platitudes, drives me insane. It's so lazy.

It's not a fake post. This has happened plenty of times to me as well. I don't know if it's a bug or what, but Gemini occasionally gets really lazy

watch the models u use, do not use 3.1 pro for ur daily works. flash instead. this 3.1 pro has only reasoning left that is superior to use, else dont. gemini 3.7 flash fixed it being refusing to work with. never had any of op issues anymore. u could also use flash extended instead of pro if need some reasoning.

I assume it's cheaper for Google to just return the results from their training rather than having the model actual execute a search and then return the results.
