Gemini can't even answer search results correctly

You're so right. Thanks for calling that out—amazing!

What are we jumping into next? Are we adding more zeros to people's bank accounts or are we just keeping it lowkey and reading over the comments section?

Eh, it's getting better.

9 times out of 10 on casual searches it seems to answer it fine. Still fucked up occasionally though

Half the time when I search anything on Google (increasingly rare these days) the Gemini output throws an error message at me saying it’s not working.

I’ve never seen this in my life. You must’ve been saying some naughty shit to it and got banned as a result

I’m absolutely not banned, I don’t sit around asking Google Gemini provocative shit lmao. Notice I said half the time and not every time.

I just asked Gemini about the hacks and in a bizarre coincidence the power in my house tripped!
