Gemini isn't great as a model, googles search and ability to cite textbooks down to the paragraph make it better than every other model for human in the loop tasks.

I end up using the gemini api for with search enabled for the cases that I don't have access to good grounding data even in agentic tasks.

Guessing this is the relevant part: "worst AI model I ever used"

Personally it's because i used it when it was brand new and work paid for it and i had no idea what model it was using, my boss just turned it on for automatic PR summaries and code reviews and it was universally dogshit, and the auto complete in my IDE was awful as well.
