Gemini Omni: what owners actually say
Owners praise Gemini Omni's rapid improvement and video generation quality, but flag UI shortcomings and unresolved spatial understanding gaps.
What owners complain about
- UI limitations SOME
No projects with custom prompts, poor code representation, and poor Markdown support compared to competitors.
- Spatial understanding errors SOME
Video generation shows subtle spatial errors and geometry that changes as objects go out of sight and return, indicating Google hasn't solved deep spatial understanding.
- Subscription sprawl FEW
Owners report managing five separate AI bills to push limits of video-to-video editing, calling it exhausting and a subscription trap.
- Questionable benchmark results SOME
Users claim online IQ test results are inflated because the test material was in training data, calling it 'basically cheating'; offline results scored significantly lower (110 vs 133).
What owners love
- Rapid improvement closing the gap
Long-time ChatGPT users report switching to Gemini and not looking back, saying the gap with competitors is getting hard to ignore.
- Impressive video generation output
Specific effects like an active volcano edit on driving footage are called 'incredible'; quality of output depends heavily on input effort.
- Omni update well-received
Multiple users describe Omni as a 'truly great update' and appreciate the new capabilities on Pro plans.
- Creative workflow integration
Users note AI is already embedded in creative pipelines (Photoshop infill, mocap replacement) and that committed users building custom pipelines in tools like ComfyUI get striking results.
Surprising patterns
- VFX professionals use a specific 'Jenga brick tower falling' prompt as a standardized physics test, revealing rigid body contact remains fundamentally hard for the model to learn.
- Users actively debate whether IQ-style benchmarks for AI are meaningful at all, with some calling the practice 'stupid' regardless of the score.
- Creative professionals using AI in their workflows deliberately avoid disclosing it on their profiles due to stigma, regardless of the quality of the output.
WHO SHOULD SKIP IT
Buyers who need robust project management features, strong code representation, and Markdown support in the UI will find Gemini Omni still lagging behind competitors in those areas.
