I’d argue that Gemini is actually really good at summarizing a Google search, filtering the trash from it, and convincing people not to click the actual links that is how Google makes money.
Yeah but when it’s a total crapshoot as to whether or not its summary is accurate, you can’t trust it. I adblocked those summaries cause they’re useless.
At least some of the competing AIs show their work. Perplexity cites its sources, and even ChatGPT recently added that ability as well. I won’t use an LLM unless it does, cause you can easily check the sources it used and see if the slop it spit out has even a grain of truth to it. With Gemini, there’s no easy way to verify anything it said beyond just doing the googling yourself, and that defeats the point.
