It arrived yesterday, Tuesday, November 18, 2025. Punctual as that feeling of emptiness we try to fill on Amazon at two in the morning.
Gemini 3.
Let’s be honest: we hadn’t yet learned to live peacefully with version 2.5, released just a few months ago, and here we are drooling over the new integer. We are convinced that this magical “3” will solve the bugs of our existence, that it will fix the emails we don’t want to answer and the ideas we don’t have the strength to birth.
Spoiler: it won’t. But, technically speaking, it is an impressive beast. And that is precisely the problem.
Here is the unsolicited and sugar-free review of what Google has just sold us as the future, filtered for ai-utopia readers.
The Great Digital “Thinker”
Gemini 3’s killer feature is called “Deep Think”. Google proudly states that the model now possesses “PhD-level” reasoning capabilities. Before, AIs “hallucinated” with the confidence of a drunk at a bar; now Gemini 3 takes a pause, reflects, simulates human thought, and then answers.
There is a sweet irony in all this. We have built machines that stop to reflect at the very historical moment when human beings have stopped doing so. While we react instinctively to clickbait titles and vomit unsolicited opinions on social media in three seconds flat, artificial intelligence takes the luxury of slowness. We are outsourcing cognitive effort. Gemini 3 thinks “deeply” so that you can stay on the surface. It’s comfortable, sure. It’s also the beginning of the end of your critical spirit.
The Dictatorship of “Generative UI”
It no longer gives you just text. If you ask for a work plan, Gemini 3 now draws the interface: buttons, forms, interactive charts created on the fly.
It is the victory of aesthetics over substance, or rather, over effort. Reading a paragraph of text now costs us too many calories. We want information to be pre-chewed and spat out in the form of a colorful and clickable app. We don’t want to learn how to organize a trip; we want a button that says “Book happiness”. And Gemini 3 gives it to us. It treats us like spoiled children who won’t eat their vegetables unless they are shaped like an airplane.
Antigravity: Floating in the Void of Incompetence
Google also launched the developer platform called Antigravity. A perfect name. It serves to create autonomous agents that code and work by themselves. The goal is to remove the “weight” of gravity, the ballast of manual labor.
But gravity is what keeps our feet on the ground. If we remove the weight of doing, of understanding how things work “under the hood”, we will end up floating in a limbo of assisted incompetence. We will build cathedrals of code whose foundations we do not know, praying that the silicon architect didn’t have a bad day.
The Conclusion (That You Won’t Like)
Gemini 3 came out a week after GPT-5.1 and two months after Claude Sonnet 4.5. The benchmarks say it is superior. It scored 1501 points on some obscure leaderboard instead of 1490.
But to you, dear user, what changes? You will use this extraordinary computing power, capable of PhD-level reasoning, to write passive-aggressive emails to the condo board or to ask for a fridge-emptying recipe.
Gemini 3 is a black mirror, extremely polished and technologically perfect. It reflects a sharp image: that of a machine becoming increasingly human, while we become increasingly machines.
Welcome to the future. Try not to turn off your brain, at least not today.
