Can I just say that Google AI Studio with latest Gemini is stunningly, amazingly, game changingly impressive.

It leaves Claude and ChatGPT's coding looking like they are from a different century. It's hard to believe these changes are coming in factors of weeks and months. Last month i could not believe how good Claude is. Today I'm not sure how I could continue programming without Google Gemini in my toolkit.

Gemini AI Studio is such a giant leap ahead in programming I have to pinch myself when I'm using it.

I tried it out because of your comment and the very first prompt Gemini 2.5 Pro hallucinated a non-existant plugin including detailed usage instructions.

Not really my idea of good.

Can you provide your prompt? This hasn't matched my experience. You can also try enabling search grounding in the right hand bar. You have to also explicitly tell it in your prompt to use grounding with Google Search, but I've had very good success with that even for recent or niche plugins/libraries.

So glad we're pinning the success and learning of new technology on random anecdotes. Do pro AI people not see how untenable it is where everything is a rumor?

It is only a rumor to people who refuse to put in effort.

I'd rather put my effort into developing my own skills, not hand-holding a hallucinating robot.

What does this even mean? Lol.

I enjoyed the clarity of that sentence. It's wild to read. Some people are choosing the hand-holding of the hallucinating robot instead of developing their skills, and simultaneously training their replacement (or so the bosses hope, anyway).

I wonder if "robot" was being used here in its original sense too of a "forced worker" rather than the more modern sense of "mechanical person". If not, I propose it.
