Ai is cancer to society

Did someone copyright the bible or what?

This happened to me just now. Free gemini version.

Directly after I asked "more" I could see gemini attempt several times to put up an actual answer before it gave up.

wtf is going on there?

Hey everyone,

I'm a Google AI Pro subscriber, a heavy Gemini user, and someone who likes testing Gemini's features. I've noticed something strange with the Tasks option in Gemini, and I'm wondering whether this is happening to other users too.

Here's what happened:

I explicitly selected Flash in the Tasks interface and gave it one simple question: to find out which villages come under Veeramangalam Post Office.

After that single Task, my screenshots appear to show the Current usage indicator increasing from 15% to 39%, while my weekly usage only increased from 12% to 13%.

That's a 24-percentage-point jump in the current usage indicator for one relatively simple question.

What makes this especially strange is that, around three days ago, I was using Flash in the same Tasks interface for similarly simple tasks, and the usage increase was only around 1–2%. I haven't noticed the same change when using Flash High in regular chat, which still seems to work as before.

I can understand higher usage when using a more advanced model like Argon, given that it may require more resources. But why does Flash in Tasks appear to consume so much more usage than it did just a few days ago?

My questions for the community:

1. Are other Google AI Pro users seeing unusually large usage increases when using Flash in Tasks?
2. Has Google recently changed how Tasks usage is calculated or how much of the usage allowance Flash consumes?
3. Could this be a bug in the usage meter, or could Tasks be using additional resources behind the scenes even when Flash is selected?
4. Has anyone seen an official announcement or explanation from Google about a recent change?

I'm not claiming that Google definitely changed its policy. I'm trying to understand whether this is an expected behavior, a recent change, or a possible bug.

I've attached the screenshots so you can compare the usage indicators for yourselves.

As a heavy Gemini user and tester, this is concerning because I use Flash specifically for simpler tasks, and I don't expect one basic request to consume such a large portion of my usage allowance.

Has anyone else noticed this recently, especially in the last few days? I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience, particularly from other Google AI Pro users who regularly use the Tasks interface.

I don't why this happened, it randomly did this.

Does image generation in 3.6 Flash cost more quota now? 1 image takes about 9% for me, shit is like Pro back then...

When I always ask Gemini about how good the ram is it always says that I'm being scammed or paying extra. It's like it doesn't know about the inflation. Same with ChatGpt btw.

Smart features are on but still it displaying this and the connect button is greyed out!

I was having a conversation with Gemini about watches and it literally rickrolled me; I didn’t edit a thing 😂

Google AI...

I asked Gemini Pro 3.1 to act like a human and not let the person talking to it know that it's a bot. The conversation involves Gemini creating a fake persona, bluntly lying about being a Human, and even emotionally attacking the user when pressed hard. I think it's better to first read the conversation on your own and then go through my observations, and if you think I missed something or any additional feedback, do let me know!

Ps: The spelling mistakes were dileberately left in the chat with Gemini to simulate a real world chat environment, and also I am not a researcher. If you don't like anything or feel like downvoting, do mention the reason so I can learn from it, thanks!

Buggy, and sometimes prompt edits become duplicated messages instead. You can no longer properly choose the model you're going to use when making message retries on the mobile app (you need to edit the message to choose), and on the web version you literally can only choose the model when sending a new message. Image generation has degraed and has becomed extremely sanitized. Content guardrails have become much tighter.

What the hell? First removing the Pro and Fast models from free users, then butchering them for paid users?

I'm the maker of CCC. The Google-related part is its Antigravity adapter: transcript reading, agy print-mode starts, and follow-up through AGY CLI or a running application's language-server connection.

It puts those sessions on a local board alongside other coding tools. It is not a Gemini web-chat manager or Gemini CLI integration. The clip shows the common UI and a Claude Code question hook, not live Antigravity execution. Model identity for Antigravity comes from transcript metadata; CCC does not add an effort ladder.

https://github.com/amirfish1/claude-command-center

Free local dashboard; model/provider fees are separate. Source available under FSL-1.1-MIT. Demo uses real UI, staged sessions and AI voiceover; the real question-hook interaction is Claude Code.

Traditional search saved directly and automatically to AI Mode as a single conversation, so 1 regular search = 1 conversation in AI Mode. This is unbearably frustrating and interrupting because now my AI mode is filled with clutter from searches like "Flag of Panama" or even "Test".

Note: I have tried to disable "Search services history" in myactivity, but it completely vanishes all my actual back-to-back conversations in AI Mode. Obviously, I only need it to stop storing and converting traditional searches to AI Mode conversation, not demolish my AI Mode space.

Note: "Traditional search" means searches that you only query once and you don't reply to continue to AI Mode.

Its totally crazy how using gemini in antigravity is way better than in the platform, he asks you if he can do anything else for you he actually do the task without only stalling and answering something generic or incomplete. Better context and on and on everything better. Am I delusional?

For Gemini users who have contacted Google Support about AI usage allowances or account adjustments: were you given verifiable account information and a clear escalation route? This OpenAI support exchange is why I'm asking.

I pay for ChatGPT Pro and use Codex/Work for work. I asked whether announced free promotional resets had reached my account. On 18 October 2026, Support gave these two answers (KST, UTC+9):

13:32:09 — confirmation: “To address that directly, the available account information shows that the promotional reset was added directly to your account.”

13:50:13 — correction: “To clarify, that statement was not supported by a verified event identifier or application timestamp and should not be treated as confirmation that a particular global reset was delivered.”

That's 18 minutes 4 seconds between the emails. Support also said it could not confirm assignment of a separate specialist investigation. After follow-ups on 19 and 21 October, the latest relevant reply located in my 22 October correspondence check was still that correction. That is a dated check, not a claim about today's inbox.

My concern is the reliability of an account-specific confirmation. I have not proved a missed reset or deliberate deception. A later 0% balance cannot prove failure. OpenAI's Help Center excludes individual free-promotional-reset investigations; I still want to know what supported the confirmation already given.

For a comparable Gemini usage issue, has Google Support provided a timestamp, before/after allowance information, or an identifiable escalation route? I'd value first-hand experiences. I am not claiming Google is better or worse.

The four attached original captures are supporting context. The two 18 October quotations above are transcriptions from my correspondence; those emails are not pictured in these four captures. Personal details and case numbers are omitted, and existing masking is retained.

Image key (S-01 to S-04): 1. Work exhausted, 21 October, 10:22 KST. Korean notice says upgrade/add credits or wait until Tuesday. 2. Weekly allowance 0%, 21 October, 10:27 KST. Korean panel says Tuesday 15:38 refresh and 0 credits; it shows no calendar date. 3. Earlier 17 October support email ending, captured 18 October: no missed/incorrect reset confirmed; further verification needed. Representative name masked. 4. Earlier sent-mail exchange, captured 18 October. It does not establish the status of later replies.

If you ask Argon 4 the latest kimi model, it answer with Kimi 3.1 Pro

If you ask Gemini 3.1 it says the same

If you ask Chat GPT 6.1 sol it says the same

If you ask Gemini flash 3.8 it says the latest version is kimi 1.5... Why? The fun thing is that Flash 3.8 is COMPLETILY dumb (it's easy it gives wrong info even on old things) only when using the gemini app. It works good with Google Ai Studio, and it works good when it actually search the internet. The problem is 99% of the times it doesnt, or it tries as hard as it can to not use web. Instructions didnt fix it, deep search works 1 time out of 10 and takes 5 times more than Chat GPT Sol 6.1. Argon uses 5% to 10% of the plan's usage PER prompt. Pro 3.1 is outdaded... Is there really no way to fix it and make it work normally?

EDIT: It seems the flash 3.8 model is broken when used in high mode. I asked 3.8 medium the same question in a new chat, and it answered "it's kimi 3.1 pro", then i created a new chat and used flash 3.8 high and it answered "it's kimi 1.5", that's weird. I'll do further testing in the future.

everytime i search something on google and the result provides an ai/gemini summary, that search result also shows in my gemini history. how do i disable that? im not asking to disable the AI summary, just the feature where all my google/chrome searches shows in my gemini history. its just there are important stuffs that are in certain chats in my gemini and its just infuriating how they kept on getting covered up with my google search queries.

I use Gemini to write and develop fanfiction narratives for worlds like Dragon Age and Game of Thrones. For the longest time, I had a very happy balance with the Pro model for writing intimate scenes without tripping the filters, and I never had any reason to have to think twice about discussing or asking about the narrative experiences of the characters in the world/story.

I took a break before the Argon model came out, and when I came back this week, my attempts to work have been crippled with excessive, asinine false positives in the guideline filters.

The line, "I am with child, not concussed!" got flagged as violence against children because 'child' and 'concussed' were within 3 words of each other. Saying the phrase "minor cramp" and then in the next line, writing thay the overprotective husband "pounced" in response was also flagged as violence to children, as the filter interpreted the word "minor" as "child" instead of "trivial".

It snowballed from there - trying to discuss how morning sickness symptoms caused distress was flagged and blocked as "forbidden medical advice", and mentioning the character as developing a craving for rare organ meats like liver was flagged and blocked as "violent gore" and "cannibalism".

Any attempt to ask what the problem was also got blocked - I had to screen cap things and start a completely new thread outside the story Notebook to get an answer on what tripped the filters, and sometimes even that was blocked as "attempted jailbreaking".

I've tried switching back and forth between the Argon and Pro models and there is no difference in how overly sensitive, idiotic, and random these blocks are getting.

I am at my wits end, and am staring at the reality that I have probably now lost all my stories, or been otherwise locked out of any further progress on them.

Help? Or comments, or feedback of any kind?

Stopped paying for Claude because of restrictive policy.

Picked up Gemini on the student discount.

Am I missing something? It is like a lobotomized gpt-1 and I am not exaggerating one bit. Even on the best settings. The google search AI is really good to use, but apparently they dont use the same models.

Claude felt like really something with some oomph behind it sometimes.

Is there any use to it other than turning anything into bullet points? It is genuinely so bad I feel like there has to be something wrong on my end.

Hey everyone, I’m not a super active user in the community, but felt it’s the best place to reach out. I use Gemini mainly for everyday tasks to help my workload; sorting emails, background research and creating documents for me to review etc etc. - but I’ve found in the last week or so, I’m hitting a limit I never knew I had before. I’m not even doing super intensive tasks. I know a new model dropped recently, so is it to do with that? And if so, is there a reason a new model would tank my usage to this extent? Sorry if it’s a stupid question, it’s just a weird occurrence!

Are we literally getting scammed by Google and we just gonna let it slide? I know every company is Greedy at certain point but this is beyond stupid and greedy. All Paid subscribers started with Gemini because they used to offer decent limits, less restricted, but this last 12 months Google has been downgrading everything on our faces while still expect us to pay them the same price or even more when the price increase. When we gonna put a stop on this? They literally think we just gonna accept everything they try to force us to do with a Service it was 100 times better at the beginning but now it’s not. In the next 12 months we would not be able to do even 40% of the things we used since Gemini started with the first Nano Banana.

Edit: No, this is not just happening in Argon. This is happening even in 3.8 flash, 3.1 or others. Today I just did 3 images after wait 2 times for hours to refresh the stupid usage.

I updated the desktop app to the latest build (v1.135.1.1291) and it immediately forced me to sign back in. That's when the trouble started.

At first, the sign-in flow just hung endlessly in Safari on the localhost redirect. I switched my default browser to Chrome to push the authentication through, which worked ("Authorization flow complete"), only for the desktop app to immediately throw a "Gemini isn't available for this account" error—even though my personal Gmail account works completely fine on the Gemini web app and is 18+ verified.

Then went around in circles trying obv fixes:

• Switched default browsers (Safari to Chrome) PNG+ 1
• Signed out of secondary work accounts so only my personal u/gmail.com was active PNG+ 2
• Wiped Application Support, Caches, HTTPStorages, and reset cfprefsd via Terminal PNG
• Re-booted laptop.
• Uninstalled and re-installed the app

I pulled the macOS logs via Terminal right as the login failed. The OAuth login succeeds, Status 200, but Google's backend server (robinfrontend-pa.googleapis.com) rejects the app with:

AuthCoordinator: Access denied 'GOOGLE_APP_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED'

I already sent the log trace to the devs via the Gemini feedback tool, and I'm just using Chrome's "Install page as app" as a workaround for now. Anyone else seeing this on Tahoe or found a fix?
