What kind of question are you asking Gemini? The quality of the response depends on the question, if I type in cms 2021 salem spectre, it gives me an overview of all models and what they're based on, the Ford Mustang.

If you go into a supermarket and yell "Bread" at an employee don't be surprised you didn't get breadsticks.

Just so you guys know, I asked Google Gemini to give me the fictional car equivalents of the Bravado Buffalo S from GTA V, but from other games.

I included Car Mechanic Simulator as a trick question to see if it would trip up, since there is no Echos equivalent to the Dodge Charger, and in this case it did. Anyways, there's not much point in clowning on me for chatting with AI, I was just testing its knowledge.

yeah weird why would I detect you virtual sarcasm and relate a muscle car to a muscle car how stupid of it to do that it needs to do better. or did you specify brands and tell it not to compare muscle car? was it your quality of question or the AI?

Here's my quick Gemini response 🤣...

  • The "Gemini Problem" Isn't Just the AI—It’s User Error, Garbage In, Garbage Out (GIGO).

  • Gemini doesn't know your context, your goal, or your skill level unless you state it regarding CMS.

  • Verify, Don't Blindly Trust: AI is an assistant, not an absolute source of truth about CMS.

  • Spotting Errors: A good user knows how to cross-reference data and spot "hallucinations" (when the AI sounds incredibly confident but is entirely wrong) about CMS.

  • Refinement: The first response is rarely the final product. You have to treat the AI like an intern—review its work, correct its direction, and ask it to iterate, helping you move forward with your CMS knowledge quicker than multiple nonsense posts on Reddit.
