I completely agree with albaby1's comments about Gemini. I admit to laziness in popping a question to the easiest AI at hand (my free time at Claude hadn't cycled yet). Gemini has the bad habit, in addition to albaby1's observations of losing its track of thought in a short period of time and expressing the same line of loquacious BS as a substitute for thought that I found so annoying in the past with ChatGPT (which either by design or by my ever more aggressive prompts), but which is now thankfully minimized. (I am looking for information, not a new friend).

What I should have done is, rather than immediately posting the (reasonable sounding) results from Gemini is to ask both Claud and ChatGPT what they thought as well and then integrated the answers. Why not use Grok as well? There is a parallel post about DOGE and, for a parallel reason why this former NYC construction-oriented contractor will never vote for our current head of US administration, I can't justify doing anything that might support the DOGE guy. I don't generally hold grudges, but sometimes I have no other rational option.
