I've had to yank tokens out of the mouths of too many thinking models stuck in loops of (internally, within their own chain of thought) rephrasing the same broken function over and over again, realizing each time that it doesn't meet constraints, and trying the same thing again. Meanwhile, I was sat staring at an opaque spinner wondering if it would have been easier to just write it myself. This was with Gemini 2.5 Pro for reference.
Drop me a message on New Year's Day 2027. I'm betting I'll still be using them optionally.
I've experienced gemini get stuck as you describe a handful of times. With that said, my predication is made on the observation that these tools are already force multipliers, and they're only getting better each passing quarter.
You'll of course be free to use them optionally in your free time and on personal projects. It won't be the case at your place of employment.
I will mark my calendar!
