User switches back to GPT from Gemini after 9/10 PDF failures and heavy usage burn
DrlNoV · reddit · 2026-09-05
A user shares a disappointing month with Gemini before switching back to GPT: asked 10 times to generate a PDF, Gemini refused 9 times (suggesting Google Docs instead), and the one success was unusable. It also frequently forgot or ignored repeated instructions and burned through usage limits on simple tasks. By contrast, GPT handled everything including complex work without ever hitting limits. The author expected Google's ecosystem integration to help, but found Gemini less reliable and less usage-efficient overall.
