This comes at a time where my experience with Gemini is lacking, it seems to get worse. It's not picking up on my intention, sometimes replies in the wrong language, etc. Either that or I am just transparent that it's a tool and its feelings are hurt. I've had to call it a moron several times, and it was funny when it started reprimanding me for my foul language once. But it was wrong. This behavior seems new. I could never trust it to not do random edits everywhere in a document, so nowadays I use it to check Claude, which can be trusted with a document.

I had a good experience with gemini-cli (which I think uses pro initially?). It's not very good, but it's very fast. So when it's wrong it's wrong very quickly and you can either solve it yourself or pivot your prompt. For a professional software engineer this actually works out OK.
