My experience with Gemini AI after 3 weeks – switching back to Claude
I’ve been testing out the new Gemini AI for about three weeks now, and wanted to share my honest feedback:
- The thinking mode consistently produces these overly dense, “research paper” style responses that are genuinely difficult to parse through. It feels like it’s trying too hard to sound academic rather than being helpful.
-
Speed issues – the thinking mode takes an incredibly long time to generate responses. The wait times really add up when you’re trying to have a productive workflow.
-
Managing projects and longer conversations is clunky and unintuitive. I’m switching back to Claude. The experience is just far more natural and easy.
Has anyone else had similar experiences, or am I missing something?
