I find Gemini is even better and more accurate than ChatGPT even though Microsoft is heavily invested in ChatGPT. ChatGPT sometimes gives me an incorrect answer, yet I have never found Gemini to give me an incorrect answer. It’s gotten to the point whenever I have a question, I immediately go to Gemini.
Also, if the answer to my question is not what I was looking for, then I always find it was how I phrased the question. With Gemini (or ChatGPT) you can carry on a conversation and get the misunderstanding cleared up.
I imagine this situation has arisen because Wowhead, even though it has a ton of information, was never designed to verbally answer questions. Also, both Gemini and ChatGPT have most likely absorbed most of Wowhead’s data (with permission).
I imagine this situation applies to almost all of the popular games. I don’t play them, so have no experience there.
BTW, I always use the free versions of AI’s.

You do understand that AI uses multiple sources to answer questions, correct?
In this case it would use WoWHead and other places to answer. While WoWhead doesn’t get everything 100% correct, it’s pretty dang accurate most of the time.
Not sure why you would use some AI thing that pulls from both correct and incorrect sources when WoWHead is mostly correct and is generally one of the most trusted sources for WoW stuff around.
Stick with what works.

Gemini is wrong 50% of the time, because it pulls from more than just Wowhead. Check out the answer when I asked for the expansions that had raids for Timewalking:
In World of Warcraft, only certain Timewalking weeks feature raids. Such as, Wrath of the Lich King (Firelands) and Cataclysm (Ulduar), where you can queue for a specific raid from that expansion during the Timewalking event; not all Timewalking weeks will have a raid available to queue for

Then why does your title say Wowhead?

The newer Samsung phones that came out the s25s look pretty cool with their AI capabilities.
I google a lot of things before I provide answers on here. Mostly so that I can quickly pull up links instead of messing with book marks. I find that the AI summary I get is often wrong, at least in part. Even when it is right, it misses context.
Finding the information, deciding what is actually useful, then verifying it, is a skill some humans are still way better at. Research is a skill we should not be giving up on.
I trust AI about as much as I trust Wiki. It MIGHT be useful at a starting point but I would be stupid to trust it for a final answer.

It uh… used to give interesting reasons for why cockroaches were named cockroaches.
I doubt it
The wowhead comments section will likely remain the BiS source of information for the foreseeable future

The comment sections are the goat.

It’s kind of like Wikipedia. I used to use Wikipedia extensively in the areas of quantum physics, relativity, cosmology, areas of medicine, AI development, and sometimes law.
I still donate to Wikipedia to help keep it alive. It is a great source of information just like Wowhead. But in those areas, I mentioned, today I primarily use AI. For example, AI passes both the bar exam and medical licensing exam in the 90th percentile of all doctors, although I still go to the doctor. I also still use Wikipedia, but now, not as often.
In the sciences, things are changing at an accelerated rate, for better or worst. Worse in some cases, like war’s use of drones. Soon Drones won’t need GPS type systems to accurately hit their target, and they can’t be jammed. New day!
Whenever I’m “hard-stuck” on a vague/confusing quest or problem in-game (a decent number of quests don’t provide clear/specific instructions or “direction” on what to do), a quick search of _____ on wowhead and then immediately opening the comments section quickly clears up the confusion
…usually the information or answer I’m looking for is right there at the “top” of the comments pile, conveniently highlighted in visible green color due to upvotes from other users

Yep.
I generally ignore the summary because it is almost never fully correct.
The AI does a good job of aggregating sites for the answer I need but it doesn’t seem to be very good at parsing the sites and presenting the information in an accurate manner.
It’s like it just grabs random sentences that contain the words that you typed in and throws em into a a paragraph.
Still don’t know what Gemini vs ChatGPT has to do with Wowhead.

Nothing.

Far as I can gather I guess it’s the gathering of information? Maybe? Idk
I’ll stick with Wowhead and it’s comment sections. Hardly ever does me wrong when looking for in-game things related to World of Warcraft.
How you go from this
To this
From the threads title, I don’t even know.
AI is just getting started.
John Conner giving us all some serious side eye about now.
