I’ve fully switched over to Gemini now. It seems significantly more useful, and is less of an automatic glaze machine that just restates your question and how smart you are for asking it.
How do I get Gemini to be more proactive in finding/double-checking itself against new world information and doing searches?
For that reason I still find chatgpt way better for me, many things I ask it first goes off to do online research and has up to date information - which is surprising as you would expect Google to be way better at this.
For example, was asking Gemini 3 Pro recently about how to do something with a “RTX 6000 Blackwell 96GB” card, and it told me this card doesn’t exist and that I probably meant the rtx 6000 ada… Or just today I asked about something on macOS 26.2, and it told me to be cautious as it’s a beta release (it’s not).
Whereas with chatgpt I trust the final output more since it very often goes to find live sources and info.
That’s funny, I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Gemini starts every answer to a coding question with, “you have hit upon a fundamental insight in zyx”. ChatGPT usually starts with, “the short answer? Xyz.”
They have been for a while. Had first mover advantage that kept them in the lead but it's not anything others couldn't throw money at, and catch up eventually. I remember when not so long ago everyone was talking how Google lost AI race, and now it feels like they're chasing Anthropic
