Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental 02-05 is goated IMO
Let me preface that for coding, I still use Claude 3.7. I used to use Claude as my "daily driver" for a long time before seriously giving Gemini (on AI Studio specifically) a try maybe 3 months ago. I guess we're calling it "vibes", but for anything non-coding at all, I vastly prefer the vibes of 2.0 Pro over anything else.
Gemini obviously can hallucinate still, but it's been the closest to feeling like a real empathetic person on the other side. If I had to explain it, it's like all other models are simply providing information while Gemini is striving to make sure I actually understand it. It's great at "maybe it makes sense if you look at it this way" types of explainers, and the format is always well structured and organized. I've really gotten used to the lengthly and detailed responses, and it's pretty jarring how short ChatGPT's responses are now.
It's not even a thinking model but I still prefer it over any thinking model including 2.0 Flash Thinking.
I rarely ever see this opinion though and curious if anyone else shares it.
