Many are saying this. 1. Use free Gemini 2.5 Pro on AI Studio. The Gemini app adds a slompt (slop prompt). 2. More than any other model, there actually is a learning curve with "prompting" so keep trying until you understand its quirks. 3. It has a giant context window, use it. 4. You have to stop the response and tell it to think if it responds without thinking (horrible UX btw @OfficialLoganK lol). Never let it respond without thinking. 5. Curate what goes in the context window in multi-turn. It gets context-poisoned easily: don't be afraid to fork or start a new chat
