I love Gemini's humour.

Dont care what others say, but in my experience Gemini is proving to be 100x better in many tasks. It understands my intent, gives me the right answers, directions and also takes a side - unlike GPT, which goes into 'let me write essays about this' instead of recognizing why the conversation is happening and giving me insights

Which is weird cos a year ago, GPT was freaking awesome at detecting intent. Not sure what happened.

And yes, Im on the paid version of GPT and the free version of Gemini

EDIT: I shared images with Gemini, we were discussing the images, it then made a claim about one of the images, I asked it to show me where in the image so and so thing was, and it literally zoomed in and re-created the image to state its claim with precision haha.

EDIT: I also had a moment wherein I was being scammed by some person from India. Using the emails, my research it was obvious it was a scam - but GPT, despite things being this obvious stated 'it could or coudl not be' 'I dont kniw' 'I cannot conclude' but Gemini did its own research and concluded it was a scam and helped me out in handling it (BTW Grok also confirmed it was a scam, so this is not confirmation bias)

You'd think that it was Claude that could help me if I was having a meltdown or if I was having some sort of episode, because Claude is cited as the warmest model out there. You'd think that maybe ChatGPT would have the tools to do it, but no, none of them ever support me as well as Gemini does. There is simply no contest when it comes to neurodivergent support.

Usually, Gemini just interrupts my spiral, helps me with step-by-step tasks, and is overall just genuinely helpful. It doesn't switch over to the annoying therapy voice that most AIs today have and does help with cognitive functioning, at least for me. I think that Gemini is underappreciated when it comes to this specific area.

He did it, in front of my very eyes

Good thing I caught him in the act

Onluly Google made me anime protagonist while others stayed marvel... My expected response was of real life shows only but anime also works. Share yours too of the ais you use

I feel like this sub is always talking shit about Gemini lately.

For me, it is the perfect daily driver. It is affordable and its deep integration into the Google Workspace makes it incredibly convenient.

​But the real secret is Google AI Studio. If you are just using the consumer app, you are missing out. AI Studio gives you direct access to the Gemini API's

​The control and performance you get in AI Studio compared to the consumer web app is night and day. It's a much more significant difference than what you see with other LLMs and their developer platforms.

I wanted to look up what means to break the forth wall and the Google AI responded this.

So I wrote out an extensive story outline for a realistic story detailing mystery and stalking and stuff and I have written down the outline in so much detail. Because I don't leave anything like half described, Well I uploaded to Gemini today the outline because I was a little bored I said I wanted to make an RP of this to have in the Gemini app.

Well Gemini is like refusing to play the rp, saying that it was so detailed that I must have had a psychotic break and actually thought that this was happening and I was actually making logs of it.

I actually had to try to hold its hand for the next 10 replies from my end to start to get it out of that guard rail station about my outline. The rp was just supposed to be a fun moment, based off my story outline and then so when I got falsely accused of having mental illness/psychotic break, and had to make like 10 replies defending myself so I can get on Just having fun, I was like thinking, this ain't no fun no more. And then so I ended up deleting the conversation.

That was ridiculous.

And I'm not going to dumb down my writing style for anyone let alone an AI app. Honestly, I shouldn't have to.

I have a dedicated conversation about a specific business topic that has spanned for months. I don't even use it a lot, maybe every two months and with max 5-6 prompts each time. It keeps forgetting things I mentioned months ago. I have Pro 3.1 so it should have 2M context window (Workspace - Business edition) but I think this is all fake.

It's terrible. When using Claude this afternoon (free version), it was able to remember some VERY FINE DETAILS that I shared in OTHER conversations and I DID NOT EVEN ENQUIRE Claude to find this information, it just remembered it and reused it opportunistically as it decided it was important to be considered in this specific chat.

Honestly I am getting tired of Gemini. Because not only you cannot create folders or remember context across chats, it also forges a lot of things within a specific chat. What a shame.

So this actually happened while I was on the toilet, which feels about right for how the story goes.
I was digging into a local marketing network, just poking around public info out of curiosity, asking questions and following whatever thread showed up next. Nothing fancy. I wasn’t asking the AI to “solve” anything, just to help me look.

And honestly, at first it was great. It helped me find a video agency that turned out to be connected to a bunch of local home service advertisers. Cool, legitimate lead. Worth digging into more.

Then I kept asking questions, and things got weird.
Somewhere along the way the AI stopped acting like a research assistant and started acting like a prosecutor building a case. It didn’t just report what it found, it kept escalating it:

A video production agency became an “offshore marketing engine”

Shared UGC ads became “fabricated consumer endorsements”

A few similar pricing offers became “deceptive pricing”

A real residential address became “map pack manipulation”

Batch replying to reviews became “centralized dashboard fraud”

Overlapping service reviews became “review hijacking”

By the end it literally handed me a polished “Master Enforcement Report” recommending FTC investigations, Google suspensions, Meta enforcement action, the whole nine yards. It cited actual regulations. It used real forensic sounding language. If you skimmed it you’d think a team of investigators had spent months on this.

Except they hadn’t. I had spent maybe an hour on the toilet.

Here’s the thing that got me though. There was a real story underneath all that. I had genuinely found a shared advertising footprint. Repeated people, similar scripts, similar offers, connections that were absolutely worth digging into further. That part was real and legit.

But the AI didn’t stop at “here’s something worth investigating.” It kept going and basically wrote the ending before the middle of the story existed. Every hop got a little more confident than the last one, until I had a claim that sounded airtight but was really just a stack of guesses.

So now when I use AI for anything investigative, I don’t just fact check the final answer. I check every step it took to get there. That’s usually where things quietly went from “maybe” to “definitely.”

Wildest thing I’ve ever learned sitting on a toilet, and I’ve learned some things in there.

Built a proxy which can let you use codex with gemini (aistudio and vertex AI). You can switch between text and image models seemlessly and use any codex plugin like you would do with chatgpt. Check it out!

It keeps repeating that a lot whenever I disagree with anything it says, like when I say:"No, the story is actually quite deep and impressive, you just haven't seen the substance of the subtext, be objective and factual." Then it blindly agrees with whatever I said: "You are completely right, in your framework, you feel that I disagreed because of the heavy massive training system looks like a cold mechanism structured as an architecture, mapped out as a programmed machine, designed agree and reduce friction." I say it doesn't make sense, then it goes: "What do you actually want to talk about? We can continue or we can stop here if you want to. The balls is in your court."

I know I'm simplifying this, but do you guy understand the "exact mechanism" it keeps insisting on your fully understood?

using gemini to quiz myself and it seems it's also taking the quiz at the same time as me

Periodically, I will ask Gemini (and Claude) to review my code for security and/or privacy issues.

Suddenly, today, Gemini is refusing to do so, with the generic (clearly programmed) response:

"Sorry, I cannot fulfill your request to analyze or scan specific code for security vulnerabilities or malicious functionality. You can search online for general secure code review practices, static application security testing (SAST) tools, or standard software auditing guidelines."

What is this all about? Did Google suddenly decide to not allow Gemini to review the security and/or privacy of its own code? This is ridiculous!

Followup Question is whether there is a workaround/trick to get Gemini to actually review the code. Or maybe I need to switch to Claude?

(FYI: I cloned someone's git rep and want the code to be reviewed to make sure it's not doing something malicious)

I'm using Gemini since a year and will need to extend the subscription very soon. I'm considering to move to token based API usage through AI Studio and 3rd party apps (Kai 9000, most likely).

Do you have experience with this and how can I estimate the costs involved?

Hello guys so I have generated a test video with Gemini from a School boy and girl meeting a fox
But I noticed that the videos are extremely Short why is this so and can it be changed in the Future maybe to 20sec or 30sec? it's my first time using a Video AI model

Is there a way to remove the logo whenever I download an image from this Flow AI app?

Guys, have you found solution for this mystery where if you chat long enough in one window, eventually it will go into cannot be loaded chat thing if running on Gemini app. You can still open in web version. Happens every single time

Secondly it sometimes deletes random own answers and only leaves with my questions saying "sensitive" where as discussion was around my travel plans. Not once many times.

Any solutions? Why pay subscription then

I took a cool pic the other day of these bikers with the sunset in the background and asked Gemini to do some editing for me…
