You're talking about a very different use than the one suggested upthread:

    I use it to criticize my creative writing (poetry, short stories) and no other model understands nuances as much as Gemini.

In that use case, the lack of creativity isn't as severe an issue because the goal is to check if what's being communicated is accessible even to "a person" without strong critical reading skills. All the creativity is still coming from the human.
