That's funny, Google Gemini and AI mode in search has replaced my ChatGPT prompting, because I know Gemini will correctly cite sources (as of course it's by Google) rather than hallucinating.

Also, Gemini is free or at least has much higher usage limits than ChatGPT or Claude, and it's well integrated into Android and soon Apple with their new Siri, so things like circle to search just work well.

Google just lost a lawsuit for citing sources and then displaying information that didn't occur in the sources. https://the-decoder.com/landmark-german-ruling-declares-goog...
That's totally fair and things may change. For me its the history and the fact I can come back to it.

If I am honest I believe my final solution will be a combination of Open Claw, a custom knowledge wiki based on Wikmd. I just need a good all for Claw with history that is as good as gpt

Edit: and context too. It inferred my energy supplier from previously chats and so when I just asked a pertinent question it referenced their policy. Admittedly Google will have way more context if they get the product right.

Gemini also has it all, it learns and knows who you are, you have history of chats where you can just jump back into a conversation a week later if you want to.
Gemini has history and memory too though, maybe you weren't aware. It's an app just like ChatGPT and you can even import your history and memory, try it.
I've run into plenty of instances where Gemini cited sources and the claims they attributed to those citations were nowhere to be found in the actual sources they cited. It's happened to me over a dozen times this past week.

The AI search results were actually better last year; significantly fewer hallucinations.
