It's actually a sign of a very stupid product design. Make stupid products, get stupid answers. You shouldn't be an apologist for people making stupid products. And definitely shouldn't be an apologist for multi-trillion-dollar companies failing at their basic promise to users.

Nope, you are another one that simply does not understand AI or how it works. Chat history carries forward into future conversations, thus responses to childish prompts will be met with childish answers. That is just the tip of how the algorithm works.

So an actual child asks this question, or someone seriously asking and not that bright, and it’s okay that the response is incorrect because the question is ‘childish’? Why can’t it just respond correctly, regardless of the chat history? Average users just want an answer to their question

Oh I sure do understand. But you just don't know what google dot com is. You think it's a thing billions of people go to in order learn how LLMs work. But it's not. It's a thing they go to expecting to get simple, correct answers quickly. Don't condescend when you simply don't know the market.

"Responses to childish prompts will be met with childish answers" Glad to know that there's a non-random chance that when I ask Google a factual question it will reply BOFA DEEZE NUTZ because ***my dude do you not know how Boaty McBoat Face happened***

Jeff, you're the one who doesn't understand how this works. Anil typed his query into search, not chat. Although both of these are stored by default, Gemini chat history doesn't include search history. Gemini doesn't have access to your Google search history at all. So, you're 100% wrong.

They're making a mainstream product for regular people. If it's worse at basic maths than the regular, decades old, search product, it has failed on many fronts. The fact it is being promoted as better than search rather than carrying the classic Google 'beta' badge, shows how far Google have fallen
