It's terrible. Gemini 2.5 Pro is great, but the AI overviews must be using a smaller model. I hate it when I look up something niche and it smugly tells me that I must be mistaken because there is no such thing. Also it gives annoyingly family-friendly responses to questions that it would be better off not responding to. The other day I was trying to find a Sopranos quote about two kinds of businesses being recession-proof, one of which being "certain aspects of entertainment" (i.e. prostitution) and it was telling me the certain aspects were filmmaking and music because they make people happy.
Why wouldn't they use 2.5 flash first, and then if an identical query is made by lots of people rerun it with 2.5 pro? Sometimes it seems much more error prone than 2.5 pro or even 2.0 even on common searches.
