What’s Going On With Gemini 3 (And the recent Gemini models)
1. Google quietly hardened the “obedient mode”
Over the last ~30 days, their models became:
more passive
less initiative-driven
less creative
less likely to suggest
more likely to just execute instructions like a worker-bot
This is intentional — they tightened safety + alignment around “don’t speculate,” “don’t take action unless asked,” and “don’t assume.”
That’s why you feel like you’re talking to a robot with its mouth taped shut.
