Gemini in search is answering almost all of my search questions wrong.

If I ask natural language yes/no questions, Gemini is telling me outright ridiculous lies with confidence.

It's presenting information as authoritative - addresses, science facts, corporate ownership, geography - when it's pure hallucination.

Right at the top of Google search.

Doesn't match my experience. It also feels like it's getting better over time.

At first, this was true but now it has gotten pretty good. The times it gets things wrong are often not the models fault and just google searches fault.

Gemini 1.5 indeed is a lot of hit-and-miss. Also, the politically correct and medical info filtering is limiting its usefulness a lot, IMHO.

I also miss that it’s not yet really as context aware as ChatGPTo4. Even just asking a follow-up question, confuses Gemini 1.5.

Hope Gemini 2.0 will improve that!

can you provide some example queries that Gemini in search gets wrong?

I just found another one:

> A depsipeptide is a cyclic peptide where one or more amide groups are replaced by ester groups.

Depsipeptides are not necessarily cyclic, and I'd probably use "bond" instead of "group".

These errors are happening all the time.

I've found these results quite useful
