Sure but if one is bad at asking questions they would be consistently bad across chatbots


Yes, but in fact compensating for bad questions is a skill, and in my experience it is a skill excelled by Claude and poorly by Gemini.

In other words, better you are at prompting (eg you write a half page of prompt even for casual uses -- believe or not, such people do exist -- prompt length is in practice a good proxy of prompting skill), more you will like (or at least get better results with) Gemini over Claude.

This isn't necessarily good for Gemini because being easy to use is actually quite important, but it does mean Gemini is considerably underrated for what it can do.


More likely just different tasks. The frontier is jagged.
