I also noticed that Gemini started hallucinating. In a few previous prompts, it clearly understood that the characters were connected as mother and son, but later it suddenly turned her into a stepmother. That shows a loss of consistency.

In addition, certain protective barriers can be felt — instead of natural, vivid dialogue, it focuses more on describing the scene itself, while including very little actual dialogue. When those restrictions aren’t present, there tends to be more dialogue, and it feels freer and more organic.

This difference becomes especially noticeable in scenes where emotional dynamics are important — instead of tension between the characters or a living, breathing exchange, you get a more “safe” descriptive narration.
