Damiandtg · reddit · 2026-10-06
Reddit users report that since yesterday Gemini frequently responds with "I'm an AI, I can't do that" style refusals. The poster notes the last time this happened was around the switch to model 2.1, suspecting a silent update or tightened safety guardrails, and asks whether others see the same. No official confirmation yet.
