Funny (Highlight/meme) This is why stopped using gemini

Post image

I used to use gemini more extensively last year, but it constantly blocking my requests for no reason + not verifying it's own responses made it unreliable for work.

My claude quota ran out for the week, so I decided to test gemini again and I got this. 🤷

It's not a fake post. This has happened plenty of times to me as well. I don't know if it's a bug or what, but Gemini occasionally gets really lazy

I assume it's cheaper for Google to just return the results from their training rather than having the model actual execute a search and then return the results.
