Gemini!

After a month, I settled on Gemini as my go-to AI model.

It’s not just the speed, which is almost instantaneous. Because Google Search is integral, it has current data, rather than two-year-old info from some other AIs.

But every day it seems to miss the most obvious solution to a problem; for example, that you can’t have line gaps between certain groups of code. The code might be correct, but because of a single extra blank line, it fails. I would get a dozen increasingly complicated non-solutions.

It’s almost like the AI didn’t ask the question: did you switch the power on?

Anyway, I’ve sought help (AI, of course), and it suggested better-focused prompts to get around these issues.
