Gemini's 11-option model picker draws user ire: 'If it's so smart, figure it out'

A Reddit user complains about Google Gemini's model selector: choosing between 11 options — 3.6/3.7/3.8, High/Medium/Low, 3.1 Pro, Extended — and asks why a model "so smart" can't just pick for itself. A genuine UX pain point reflecting how fragmented model lineups burden users.
