Reddit user slams Gemini for hallucinated details, broken code, and invented menu settings

A Reddit user published a scathing critique of Google Gemini, alleging it repeatedly hallucinates technical details, produces broken code loops, and invents menu settings that don't exist, dressing guesswork up with generic checklists and irrelevant links.
The author worries younger users who lack the experience to verify output may trust the model's confident tone and break their projects, arguing such a product should be taken offline. The rant highlights a real pain point: overconfident hallucinations in technical Q&A contexts.
