If I have a really straightforward question and I want a fast answer I’ll sometimes Google search for the AI overview. But it’s so unreliable. I use opus 5.5 for any question that Google could plausibly screw up. This is a huge product failure on Google’s part, IMO. I’m a $20/paid user for both Gemini and Claude. It’s nuts that with Google’s massive head-start in AI (and apparently they still are capable of making a frontier model), they somehow deliver such a crappy version of AI by default in their flagship product. Google is probably in some part responsible for the public’s distaste for AI.
