The only thing I can figure is that Google's consumer-facing free-to-use models are set to "reason as fast as possible with only the most basic plausibility checks." I have to correct them like this every single time.

1. I ask it to list out all my old Keep notes that are just throwaway task lists, reminders, etc. to propose deleting them.

2. It comes up with like 4 of them (I know for a fact there are dozens, if not hundreds). I ask it for an exhaustive list.

3. I see its thinking trace briefly show "Refusing to produce an exhaustive list..." and then it says "Yes, that is all of them."

Not sure whether it's lack of intelligence, bad tools, or both, but that was extremely frustrating to see.

If it had exact location access people would be crying that Gemini steals their location data.

I think these companies have good models but expose them poorly like others have mentioned

I tell it to "Play Let it go from frozen". It plays it on youtube music. 5 seconds later I tell it again 'Play let it go from frozen" it then just dies saying "I can't play videos in car".
