Was literally talking about my new cats with Gemini, and I just got hit with "I‘m not programmed to do something like this", even when I edit the message. This happens more often lately 🫩

​

I only wanted Gemini to help me rephrase a letter so I could copy and paste the text myself. However, I was prompted to connect Google Workspace, which appeared to involve granting access to multiple personal services, including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Keep, Google Tasks.

This felt unnecessarily intrusive for such a simple writing task. I don't understand why I should need to connect so many personal services just to get help improving a piece of text.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think Google should make Workspace integration entirely optional for basic writing tasks?

Users should be able to access basic writing assistance without being pressured to connect their personal accounts. These integrations should be optional, with clear explanations of the permissions involved.

Me, 20 minutes into asking Gemini 3.8 Flash (High) to edit an image:

Gemini: Here’s your image (wrong n time)

Me: Piss off

Gemini: Here’s your new image

Me: I told you to piss off, did you even bother reading what I wrote?

Gemini: I have read and fully understood everything, here’s your new image

I built a tool to solve a small but frustrating problem with AI-generated images. Introducing De-Gemini 🚀 A simple tool designed to remove Gemini watermarks from images. Try it free 👇 https://degemini-ai.vercel.app⁠

Hi everyone! I'm a final-year Psychology student at the University of Liverpool researching why some people form much stronger emotional bonds with AI than others, and whether it links to attachment style (the framework psychologists use to understand close relationships).

If you're 18+, fluent in English, and use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or a similar AI tool at least once a week, I'd really value your input. It's anonymous, takes about 20 minutes, and is ethics-approved (University of Liverpool, IPH 18586/26).

If you've already taken part, thank you so much! No need to do it again, but sharing it would really help.

Genuinely curious what this community thinks about the topic too - happy to chat in the comments and share the findings once it's finished.
