Gemini is weirdly constrained compared to other LLMs, it feels far more like it's just searching for text that already exists and copy-pasting it. (I have the free trial Gemini Advanced too)
Soo, appropriate for Google I guess? But besides summaries and search it barely feels like an LLM.
Mine actually got it, draft 2 and 3 were similar to yours, but draft 1 caught it was a trick question and said just go across as long as the boat is big enough.
