Try doing some more casual requests.

When I asked both ChatGPT 5.1 Extended Thinking and Gemini 3 Pro Preview High for best daily casual socks both responses were okay and had a lot of the same options, but while the ChatGPT response included pictures, specs scraped from the product pages and working links, the Gemini response had no links. After asking for links, Gemini gave me ONLY dead links.

That is a recurring experience, Gemini seems to be supremely lazy to its own detriment quite often.

A minute ago I asked for best CR2032 deal for Aqara sensors in Norway, and Gemini recommended the long discontinued IKEA option, because it didn't bother to check for updated information. ChatGPT on the other hand actually checked prices and stock status for all the options it gave me.
