Gemini users report a recent drop in quality and trust

Recent Gemini use has felt less reliable for some people. The complaints center on answers that seem inconsistent, too literal, less accurate, and less willing to handle critical or sensitive questions. Some experiences describe Gemini as giving false answers when it cannot make a strong counterargument, blocking critical thinking, or hiding headlines in Google search.

Others say the tool lost the more useful personality it briefly had and became less flexible or less fun to work with. A few users still find it smooth for quick questions, summaries, and everyday help, but the quality now feels uneven from day to day. A recent major outage added to the feeling that Gemini may be less dependable right now.

Some prefer the older 2.5 version, while separate discussion around 3.5 Flash adds to confusion about which Gemini experience people are actually getting.
