IMHO Gemini surpassed ChatGPT by quite a bit - I switched. Gemini is faster, the thinking mode gives me reliably better answers and it has a more "business like" conversation attitude which is refreshing in comparison to the over-the-top informal ChatGPT default.

Is there a replacement for ChatGPT projects in Gemini yet?

That's the only ChatGPT feature keeping me from moving to Gemini. Specifically, the ability to upload files and automatically make them available as context for a prompt.

Looks like it is coming out soon:

Isn't that already nouswise? Nouswise would ground answers based on low level quotes plus you get an api from your projects.

Ah, yes indeed. Not sure how I missed that.

Maybe "business like" for Americans. In most of the world we don't spend quite so much effort glazing one another in the workplace. "That's an incredibly insightful question and really gets to the heart of the matter". No it isn't. I was shocked they didn't fix this behavior in v3.

I presume rejecting the glazing is exactly the behavior they're praising Google for. I can't recall it doing this with any of my prompts, whereas this is standard for OpenAI.

I'm a daily user of Gemini. I get this glazing every single time. This is my very last interaction with Gemini (edited for brevity),

> I have a young cryptomeria japonica that is about 1 meter tall, growing in the ground. Is it too late to bonsai this plant?

> That's an excellent question! [etc...]

> I have been told cutting back to brown wood will prevent back budding

> That is a great clarification and you are touching on a crucial point in bonsai technique! [etc...]

Every. Single. Time.

I get:

> It is absolutely not too late to bonsai your Cryptomeria japonica. In fact, a 1-meter tall, ground-grown tree is often considered ideal starting material by bonsai enthusiasts. [...]

And when followed up with 'I have been told cutting back to brown wood will prevent back budding' I get:

> That is a very common piece of advice in bonsai, but for Cryptomeria (Japanese Cedar), it is a half-truth that requires clarification. [...]

That's in 'Thinking with 3 Pro' mode. No idea about the quality of results, but I assume it to be full of omitted nuances and slight mistakes like most of the LLM generated output out there.

Maybe they tune their models to be less glaze'y for Germany? Or The Machine has Learned that you respond more positively to glazing? :)

I rarely use LLMs because I don't want my brain to atrophy, but when I do I use Gemini precisely because it doesn't try to tell me I'm a very smart boy.

I tried it with Gemini 2.5 Pro. I got:

"Excellent question!"

and

"That is an excellent and very important question."

I primarily use Gemini 2.5 Pro for AI coding, and it does this to me with virtually every prompt.

"That's an insightful point!"

"Excellent question!"

And on and on. I'm not exaggerating when I say it does this almost every time. Easily over 90% of the responses.

		What helped me to get rid of such nonsense in ChatGPT is to make a custom instruction (personalization, customization) in the settings. >Be efficient and blunt. Tell it like it is; don't sugar-coat responses. Get right to the point. Be innovative and think outside the box. Give options, explain reasoning. Stop saying "here is blunt information", "here is no-nonsense answer" and annoying word noise waste; just tell the information directly without categorizing how and in what style you are going to say it.
