A reader poll of more than 1,200 respondents found over 60% believe Google Gemini's performance has declined in recent months, with complaints of misunderstandings and degraded output. Excluding non-users, nearly two-thirds of respondents reported dissatisfaction, while about 20% said they saw no decline and 14.6% were unsure.

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
User perception surveys aren't a technical benchmark, but widespread anecdotal complaints could signal real regressions in model quality or tuning changes by Google that are affecting user trust. If accurate, this sentiment could push users toward competing AI assistants like Claude, pressuring Google to address performance concerns publicly.
- Over 60% of 1,200+ poll respondents say Gemini has gotten worse recently.
