Gemini has been like that forever. Even when given the full manual of my bread baking machine, it still gave me the wrong program number; when I was lost at the airport, it gave me completely false directions, etc. Neither ChatGPT nor Claude has let me down like that in recent years.

The only thing Gemini has over those is integration with my Google account, which is genuinely useful. But I reckon Google could release open weights for their whole product line without affecting market share much.
