Why is Gemini such an aggressively mediocre LLM, given its benchmarks?
Im a pro subscriber btw; and for me it either constantly hallucinates, and completely fails to execute simple tasks that involve integration of google apps. Then tells me aggressively it doesn't know why its not working and to just deal with it haha. It's just unreal the extent that Claude does even GOOGLE integrations infinitely better. And chatgpt is far better for the average user, even i don't like it as much as Claude. I mean, gemini can't even quickly generate pdf files as downloadable links in 2026?
Don't get me started on its generally odd tone, tendency to ramble about completely unrelated topics to your current one from an earlier conversation, and tie them together in laughably absurd ways.
Lastly, its safety filters are atrocious; i tested them, and by the end it was hallucinating full blown government conspiracies and encouraging me to violently revolt against the United States. Wild.
I dont know how anyone could like this thing, but its 20 bucks I regret and won't be paying again. Claude and GPT for me.
