To be fair, I have yet to lead a conversation with Gemini that doesn't just consist of me having to check its responses and point out that they're objectively incorrect only for it to "apologize" and then give me the next wrong answer, while always making sure to end with a new conversation teaser.

Granted, I've only been using the free version but I've been getting significantly more mileage out of those from ChatGPT and Claude. I guess it might be a feature that Gemini is more often obviously wrong from the start (e.g. by giving sources that don't support its claims whatsoever) but considering this is the AI from the company that had become synonymous with the concept of trying to find information on the Internet, that's pretty damn pathetic.

That is because it bases its responses on web searches with hits like comments in threads like these or blog articles that were generated from systems trained based on threads like these from the previous iteration of scrapers and generative language models.
