Gemini 3.5 Flash for Creative Writing?

You guys try it yet? What do you think, for creative writing?

From what I've seen it's the usual Gemini the soap opera writer but... Somehow more unhinged? And even more over the top? It still follows gem instructions more or less but, I put in "write at least 1000 words" and it just spew out 4k, 5k words and it adds OTT plot points? Like I have a cozy romance about a diner and 3.5 adds a mafia subplot somehow, it never happened before. Truly "go off I guess 😍" AI writer now. At least it's entertaining.

Edit: after a few chapters it seems more prone to copy paste previous chapters content and only change a bit instead of advancing the plot like the previous Gemini fast 😑 this is so ass.This reminds me of old grok. Heck, even grok doesn't do this repeating thing anymore.

Sonnet 4.5 Retired Soon (May 15)

Well all good thing must come to an end. 4.6 sucks balls so I'll stop using Claude entirely, and not interested in paying 20$ for strangled usage limit, especially since there was news that they will be excluding opus from pro subscription for new subscribers.

Anyway what are you going to use if you've been using 4.5? I'm coping with Gemini and DeepSeek right now. DeepSeek feels a bit mellowish but it's getting better to read and I think the hallucination part has been reduced in Expert mode.
