On 28 Apr, ArtificialInteligence raised questions about Gemini’s program handling skills. Opinions on the platform described Gemini as “unusable,” “GENUINELY more restricted than Deepseek,” prone to struggling with some tasks, and undergoing “the great degradation of Gemini.” One user said Gemini refused to answer a question about where private data goes. Another found seeing its internal thoughts unsettling. A comparison asked whether Gemini Pro or Claude Pro was better for school without coding. Separately, an opinion attributed to OpenAI asked how reliable Gemini is because the writer’s father takes anything it says for granted. With one tracked signal, the story amounts to a cluster of user complaints and questions. It provides no measured account of Gemini’s performance.
Taking this as factual, impact is 10%. Users relying on Gemini for program handling, schoolwork, privacy answers, or routine factual guidance face inconsistent performance and restrictions that make the system harder to trust. Comparisons with Deepseek and Claude Pro give dissatisfied users obvious alternatives.
Watch for repeatable task comparisons, documented refusal patterns, model updates, or a response from Google explaining Gemini’s restrictions and performance. Those would show whether the complaints describe a persistent product problem or isolated user experiences.
