I agree, I agree, I search in Google, but Gemini is quite good and most of the times the answer is correct or close enough to save a lot of my time.

What I understand you to mean is: you ask Google to give you the most-advertised product and hope that it's what's best for you.

I skip the "sponsored" links at the top. For programming questions it used to link to the most relevant Stack Overflow question and the exact doc of that language (that many times are difficult to navigate). It autocorrected typos and used synonyms like "pause" -> "sleep".

It isn't like the sponsored links are the only paid-for high listing in your results, SEO is a thing that exists and has nothing to do with quality. Just money and time.
