That's generally true for all LLMs, but as with any tool - you can actually use it in a way that produces actual, verifiable results. Obviously it requires a lot of work that 99% of people won't put into what is essentially seen as a 'magic black box', but I do agree with GP that Gemini is quite useful in actually breaking things down in an understandable way, compared to most other models.

My experience with it is mostly using it against an actual, academic source, where I can easily tell if it starts making things up. I wouldn't rely on it for anything that I can't confirm myself.
