Gemini AI Disappoints: Performance Issues and Update Woes

A recent experience with Gemini, an AI model offered by Google, has left users disappointed and frustrated. Despite initially receiving a free student pro pack, the model’s performance has been subpar, with issues including an inability to view images and frequently rewriting previous messages instead of addressing new requests.

Furthermore, the introduction of an ‘Ultra’ pack has limited the usage of the Pro model, adding to the dissatisfaction. Many users, including the original poster, feel that Gemini’s quality has significantly declined since November 2025, with some even comparing it unfavorably to other AI models like GPT.

The community’s feedback suggests that Gemini’s problems are widespread, with numerous users sharing similar experiences and frustrations. The sudden decline in performance has raised questions about the model’s development and updates, leaving users wondering what went wrong.
