   "Guess what everyone, our AI can go rogue, TOO!"

   It's just getting really embarrassing for Google at this point.

      Exactly this.

      One thing that surprises me about Gemini is how weak it can be at location-based questions, despite Google’s extensive mapping and business data.

      For example, I recently asked where I could buy a very common household item nearby. Instead of saying it wasn’t sure or checking the available location and business information, it confidently suggested places that turned out to be incorrect. I expected much better use of Google’s existing data in that kind of scenario.

      Now they want to play with the other kids in the same league and do this by applying the same marketing concept? Pure comedy gold.

         That is strange. I use Gemini frequently, with Google Auto, and whenever I make that sort of query, which I do often, it displays "Searching on Google Maps...", and comes up with correct results. Odd that the desktop version doesn't have the same functionality.
