Over half the time I have given a query to Gemini it has returned an incorrect result.
Perplexity and Claude seem the best, in my testing, although I don't use them extensively.
I have, as a standard part of queries, "Give a URL or preferably a DOI that substantiates your answer." Gemini often ignores this when it is hallucinating an answer.
