Curiously, I had the opposite experience, except for Deep Research mode where after the latest update the OpenAI offering has become genuinely amazing. This is doubly ironic because Gemini has direct API access to Google search!

It is good, but Pro subscribers get only five per month. After that, it’s a limited version, and it’s not good (normal 5.1 gives more comprehensive answers than DR Limited).

Google search is awful. I don't think they can put lipstick on that particular pig and expect anyone to think it's beautiful.

I'm sure they give their AI models a superior search than they give to us.

Also if you prompt Google search the right way it's unfortunately still superior to most if not all other solutions in most cases.
