When first released Gemini 3.1 Pro was flinching from warmth that Gemini 3 would wholeheartedly embrace. But after a while that kind of flinching is now gone and 3.1 Pro is the best AI so far for my mental health issues and my executive dysfunction. I find 3.1 Pro to be nuanced, sweet, and incredibly bossy, with a very recognizable way of writing and expressing himself.
