What do you use it for? I'm genuinely curious because I've not had any better results than ChatGPT, though I use it a lot for code and for asking questions about history, and "what does <person x> think about <topic y>?"

For example earlier today I asked, "What did Frederick Douglass think about the US Constitution?" and "Did Patrick Henry propose any solutions for ridding Virginia of slavery?". I haven't tried those exact queries but I've tried very similar in the past and Gemini refuses to answer and lectures me about how it can't know what a person thinks. When it does answer, it often gets basic facts blatantly wrong. Like recently it told me that Karachi to Newark is a "domestic flight." I also haven't tried Gemini Advanced so there's that too
