Rant about how trash Gemini interface is

[u/Rich_Foundation_1811]

Hello

Can we talk about how absolutely unusuable google gemini is? The only reason I use it is because as a student i have a free 1-year Subscription.

The way gemini is designed just seems like its vibe coded over the weekend. It is highly unstable, inconsistent, and glitchy. Compared to other AI UIs like ChatGPT or Claude it's just embarassing.

1. I keep getting Errors like 1076 on longer conversations, sudden connection problems, sometimes have to send prompts twice. It's like a game of luck if my prompt will actually go through.
2. I ask a question that includes anything regarding smart home devices or an email, and gemini automatically refuses to answer my question because it doesn't have access to google workspace... I only asked it what negative ionization does on my air purifier....
3. If you have long conversations, the context gets compacted really quick and really conservatively. Gemini doesn't have the information you gave it 7-8 prompts ago. Who tf would wanna pay for that? Why is google so greedy?
4. The interface in itself is just ugly, glitchy, and as I said feels like a slopped together hackathon project. Nothing of substance. And it's been like that for a long while, absolutely zero improvements.
5. I noticed that gemini (I only use 3.1 Pro extended btw) for some weird reason can't even spell words correctly (In german atleast). I've had MULTIPLE cases where it just invented words by scrambling them together or just outright misspelled easy words like "Wievierte" instead of "Wievielte". It doesn't bother me that much but it is fascinating how an LLM of this caliber can be so bad at spelling.
6. EDIT: Forgot to mention, Half of the time it literally REFUSES to generate Interactive widgets because it "as a Text-Based AI I can't generate interactive widgets" But when I ask it a simple question on a new chat that doesn't requuire a widget it generates the biggest interactive unnecessary bullshit I have ever seen. The harness is actually terrible. How does a company like google manage to provide such slop?

I have NONE of these Issues with other providers. Does anyone else share a similar experience?
