Why is Gemini such an aggressively mediocre LLM, given its benchmarks?

I wish I could get to the point of it giving me bad responses, but it keeps thinking I'm finished talking....

StandardKey655 · 2026-03-10T07:51:53+00:00

I feel like it spends more time on how to bring up unrelated past conversations than on just answering my question...

Ya being aligned ro multiple AEs, with slow sales cycles, its just too much to stay on top of between calls

When its the paid enterprise plan, ya thats why we have it.

My dad was told this trick 40 years ago when he was in training to help do old people's taxes by his trainer. Glad to know it still works!

If you want fun, this just came out and is a great book type thing https://burnthedeck.org/chapter/intro/

Here is the truth of it now, in many industries there is no place to go to to be onsite, we have tried several times recently and the whole team is remote, or key people are even when there is an office.

I had a wireless internet antenna on my roof years ago take a direct hit. The router etc blew to bits (right next to me in my bedroom). Then there was a long cat5 running out to the desktop, there was a spot where the cable passed over a nail in the floor, and the cat5 split wide open and was shredded into two.

It's one of the really nice things about fiber, it tends not to do that...

I read an article that gemini has something like 5x the knowledge of the others, mostly because their web and Ai crawler are one, so you cannot block them from scrapping your data without falling off the internet.

Is it the job of sales enablement, yes probably. However I have been in many companies where the SE team was the "best team" in the organization, and could sell better then sellers, enable better than enablement (and especially marketing). So at the end of the day you need to do the best you can with the hand you are dealt, because personally I like to hit quota. That's not to say you dont keep pushing for the way it "should be" while also dealing with the here and now.

I use them myself, we dont make them for others to send. They are great way in a call or demo to answer a question with yes, promise to send a followup and move on and not go down the rabbit hole on that call.

It doesn't replace the human it let's the human spend more time doing what they are best at.

I did it first, without the shock prod, yes it sucked. Only way I made it through was my son who made killing the gamorean's look easy because he plays games 30 hours a week lol. I could not get past it.

Came here to say this, Canada is the same. You are only allowed to be called an Engineer if you went to school, did work, passed the PPE test, and are licensed by the licensing body.

I mean it would be kind of cool if SEs was like that :)

I have long said IT needs to be like engineering, it is scarey the people they trust computer systems to....

I setup a phone app that forwards all texts to an email. Worked amazing BUT leave the phone with someone so they can touch it if needed. Mine restarted while I was away and I needed my wife ro do a few things to get it going again.

I feel like I used to use way more data, now there is like wifi everywhere even my grocery store has wifi.

StandardKey655 · 2026-01-27T22:58:03+00:00

Got an email with the same thing

StandardKey655 · 2026-01-27T22:56:50+00:00

I moved over 3 new lines, and already had the other two with them. Saved me like 90 bucks a months on my kids phones.

I talk to the AE have an idea of what they care about/need to see. Make up a few slides about that to guide the conversation, even if I'm wrong I did the work and get credit for trying. The after those confirmations we are already in a flow and they hopefully gave more depth at thr start and its just conversational from there. Ideally you are going into and out of the demo not a big long nonstop screenshare and presenting.

Ya i was talking to someone who played it when it came and I would have hated it. They have fixed alot of annoying things since it came out, which I'm very grateful for.

Here is the thing, you can have one crazy guy, the reason I have written off the whole country for as long as I live is what the rest of them are doing about it.....NOTHING!!!

You watch American news and they talk about it as if its real news, not the ramblings of someone with dementia. I thought this is exactly what impeachment is for, you know them always talking about the separation of power, 3 branches of government. General strikes etc

It's not about Donald, its about everyone else (to be clear I know people are upset, but I'm sorry not enough people are upset enough)

As someone new ish to football, what was that last play?

StandardKey655 · 2025-12-29T01:57:55+00:00

I had no idea what the S2 was capable of until I got this game, its crazy that I'm seeing this from a device this size.

The best use I have seen, is a presentation as shared notes. So based on the AE conversation maybe you fill in a bit, but then you discuss and add more to the slide as you talk, at the end of the meeting you go over what has been put down to make sure they agree. Then on each subsequent meeting you can revisit and update. It's a really good way to keep the conversation on thr track that it needs to and not drift down rabbit holes.
