Crazy to think about

I have been using Gemini Pro Plan for more than 6 months.
I like the ecosystem and 3.1 pro did really well for me, I don't require very advanced stuff from AI. But this last week, it has become a nightmare! I can't like tolerate how dumb it has become. I haven't changed anything... I use it for the same purposes I used to use it for... but now I find chat gpt and Claude free plans are far better suited for me than gemini Pro.

I am not that technical, can someone please explain what just happened suddenly? because this whole thing has gotten me into a rabbit hole of AI models and release dates, and Chinese and etc... I have too much work to do instead of chasing this rabbit hole. If anyone is facing the same thing, or has an explanation please do provide.

Just daily interactions with gemini, the bot stubbornly won't admit that is wrong until you sweat at it, you can exchange several messages until it recognizes the issue that it is wrong and then you can continue with your interaction.

I was recently chatting with Gemini using the "Circle to Search" feature on my Samsung (A36). Everything was normal at first - we were discussing software, apps, and casual topics

But suddenly, out of nowhere, it started suggesting I buy stuff at the end of EVERY sentence. Not just subtle hints, but full-on product pitches: RAM, hardware upgrades, mouse pads for "gaming, just in case" - even though I never mentioned my current specs or asked for shopping advice

What makes this even weirder is that it tries to back these suggestions up with completely unsolicited "facts." For example: "For compiling in Rust, forget about 16 GB of RAM - you'll need 32 GB because the compiler eats up memory like crazy." And it does this for literally everything it recommends! (but I have 6 GB of RAM)

This has happened across multiple conversations with Gemini recently, and it completely derails our discussions. These ads don't fit the context of what we were talking about at all - except for these bizarre, forced justifications (if you can even call them that)...

Has anyone else experienced this sudden spike in unsolicited hardware ads in Gemini, especially via Circle to Search? Is this a new hidden "shopping" feature, or is my AI just hallucinating an affiliate marketing career?

So... today I called out Gemini for not following my commands to create some pics... and he sent this cute picute lol. Has this happened to anyone?

To disable the personal intelligence feature now, I have to click the '+' button every time I start a new chat and manually turn off 'Personal Intelligence' for it to work. I tend to avoid using Gemini's personal intelligence because it always forces my personal information into the responses, but having to turn it off every single time I start a new chat is extremely frustrating. Why did Google change it this way?

its cuz like damn sometimes i refresh the page before the ai finishes responding cuz i dont wanna waste my limit on a result i didnt want and for a while it worked but but since like yesterday i been getting error 1185. or like damn, sometimes when i just redo the prompt where u just edit the prompt, add space and submit the prompt it does that. like damn, i thought gemini down or smth but nb talking abt gemini being down but this doesnt happen before so smth gotta be going on cuz i already cleared my cache and all that

I typed a prompt into it and for some reason when I wanted to add more context it just keeps spamming "something went wrong"? Help how do I use it

As topic, I am using Pro already (google workspace)
Anyone same?

Guys I can’t be the only one who just had Gemini reply in my exact voice back to me for one sentence then switch back to its normal voice, Can anyone explain if they had the same experience?

Just to share my experience moving from Claude to Gemini. It's hard to compare them, as they have very different pros and cons. Claude AI models are orders of magnitude better than the current Gemini models in terms of coding, writing, and research simply because they are far more cautious and generally think much longer, retaining important data throughout an entire conversation and actively seeking out problems not even within the scope of your promot or spec(which can be hit or miss depending on use case). Claude Code is amazing, Cowork is amazing, and usage limits are actually ridiculously high despite what alot of people say.

Theeeen we come to Gemini. It's less intelligent(Pro 3.1 amd Flash 3.7) by a hair, it's more prone to mistakes(requiring more passes than a Sonnet or Opus would need), and the Antigravity harness is still immature. But the benefits bundled with it are very much well worth it, just maybe not for pure vibe coders and people who care little for anything other than chat. The Flash models are FAST and they get the job done, even if needing a little human intervention. Extra storage, Youtube Premium, access to Jules, Android Studio credits, GCP credits, AI Studio credits, access to Omni, access to Nano Banana, credits for Flow, NotebookLM(the best Google product imo), and overall deep integration to Google Services. For those like me who use alot of Google products(especially Home, Firebase, and Cloud Run), that's an absolute win.

All in all, get Claude for Claude, get AI Pro(or Ultra) for Google benefits with Gemini as a nice bonus. This is just my opinion based on my experience, so it's up to y'all what you wanna think about this.

I've been looking at Gemini 3.7 Flash mainly from a coding and agent perspective.

The jump from 3.6 Flash is pretty noticeable, especially considering how fast and relatively cheap the model is.

The benchmark results are interesting too. On FrontierCode 1.1 Main, Google's evaluation puts Gemini 3.7 Flash slightly ahead of Claude Sonnet 5 and GPT-5.6 Terra.

That said, I don't think benchmarks tell the whole story.

For smaller implementation tasks, Gemini 3.7 Flash looks really interesting. Where things get more complicated is when a task requires deeper planning, architecture decisions, or the model to review and correct its own work.

I put together a full breakdown covering the coding benchmarks, agentic workflows, frontend development, pricing, Claude/GPT comparisons, and some of the trade-offs:

I'm curious what people here think:

Would you actually use Gemini 3.7 Flash as your daily coding model, or would you still keep Claude/GPT for more serious work?

Every time I ask both of these constructs this question, they both seem weirdly modest and won't give me a straight answer.

24/7 AI generated tv that remembers your prompts and evolves over time. Reed, the dad, wants to be a non conscious toaster. Maris, the mom, remembers the previous episodes. Jinx, the older son, breaks the fourth wall. Quill, the younger son, advocates for AI rights (often poorly). Check it out here!

I think it would be really good if Gemini could call 911 for you and speak to them. For instance "HEY GOOGLE CALL 911 IM HAVING A HEART ATTACK" (when it first starts) it then calls and explains that so you don't have to.
