same. I have Pro plan so I was pretty excited when Argon was released. But it was such a disappointment.
the problem with gemini is the whole app itself, not the model.
when you use other chat app, like chatgpt or deepseek chat, the app will use web search for everything to verify. and if it can not find anything useful, or the current fact is disputed, it will try to call web search tool again and again until the consensus.
meanwhile gemini will refuse to do web search if possible, and only do it a single time if demanded. worse, it uses the same result from google search, so the top ranking answers are almost all SEO garbage.
since then I just stopped asking gemini again. and I don't think the newer model will change the situation.
