User slams Gemini for 'predicting' critical facts instead of retrieval, hurting institutions
SensitiveVisit7701 · reddit · 2026-08-25
A self-described ordinary user sharply criticizes Gemini (now the default in Chrome): for contact info, medical emergencies, disasters, financial figures and legal realities, the model should never "predict" — it should be forced into strict data lookups (RAG) that present source data verbatim or show nothing at all. They describe fighting system-by-system battles to keep phone numbers accurate, argue that health facilities, disaster-management centers and businesses worldwide are paying the price, and call the rushed rollout without deterministic guardrails a corporate and operational failure.
