I’ve found this to be true as well. It’s got really poor attention and will derail into world-building fast.
I’m convinced Google is just shipping it to capture market share but they know Gemini isn’t ready for serious use.
Gemini is the most sycophantic and world-builder of all LLMs I’ve used.
I’m sure all models do it but Gemini seems to have no guardrails and it will happily induce AI psychosis on you sooner or later.
Just no.

Nothing beats the feeling of having a proposed idea dismissed just to have the higher ups “come up” with it some time later. Don’t even dream about getting a footnote mention.
That’s the passive form of the experience, sure — and it often comes as a shock to people that this is a thing in human relations. If you set out to make it happen, and you don’t mind letting someone else execute on the idea, it can be quite fun to manipulate people into an epiphany you arranged for them. (See also teaching, coaching, et al. but with a flipped power differential.)
