Anything is better than the current crop of Claudes, its prose has become painful.

From my own tests, the best model for writing complex, nuanced prose is Opus 4.6. All the next versions are impossible to coax into good writing. Gemini is OK, GPT ok but requires significant prompt tuning.

In my experience, Gemini excels at explaining new concepts clearly and intuitively. Much more so than other models.

when i use gemini i ask it to stop asking me questions, to stop showing me media and just use text, and be concise in output. with these directions it’s pretty useful

Having coworkers who use it and thus unfortunately needing to read its output, Claude's "English" is very obviously unnatural-sounding, and extremely distinctive in a bad and irritating way. It's almost like another dialect. ...and of course this article itself has a bit of AI-ish tone to it.

> How to use Gemini for a college essay Given that this is increasingly the go-to for a college degree, college needs to rethink its cirricula and place in the world. Or at least get rid of the essay. Lest it become a place where student and teacher ais go to play pay-to-win social deduction video games.
