Gemini 3 Released, and it still sucks
I'm going to be extremely quick with this. Gemini 3 sucks, and failed at the first question I asked it.
Stop, for the love of god putting all our collective investment eggs into the bucket of LLM based AI. It's frankly embarrassing and it sucks peoples pensions are tied up in this. I don't want my tax money bailing out the world again either.
Filament 4 released just over 3 months ago. This is an effective admin panel/framework that makes building platforms pretty quick and easy. I use it for all my projects. The one thing that changed pivotally, is that if you used awcodes tiptapeditor, a plugin, he recommended moving to the RichEditor that now comes built into Filament. I'm aware of said change, so much so that I even implemented a method that his editor had, which the core one didn't.
Pretty simple instruction sent to Gemini 3. Show me how to do a table of contents similar to that of his plugin, as I need a table of contents for my project.
Now I know full well this feature doesn't exist in Filament 4's Rich Editor because I'm currently looking into alternatives. And Gemini 3 knows that too! It told me as much. But what it told me after that is just plain wrong...
If you want the functionality to be "just as easy as it was," the
awcodes/filament-tiptap-editorplugin is still maintained and works with Filament v3/v4. The advice to "move over" generally applies to standard use cases, but for advanced "batteries-included" features like the TOC, the plugin is still superior.
His comment on GitHub specifically states...
There are no plans to update this plugin for v4.
Which means, to me the LLM simply doesn't know this, and is just making it up. Weirdly however it does seem to know that Filament 4's Rich Editor DOESN'T have a certain function available that another plugin does. It is in my view, entirely bonkers that the world is shifting to AI based workloads that still don't know information unless they are extensively trained on it. Like, always default to telling the user "I DON'T KNOW" rather than just lying to them.
That's it, that's all there is. Doom and more doom about the industry I love jumping head first into accepting standards from technology, not 3 years ago it would have rejected from it's juniors.
Nuts how companies openly using AI with problems wouldn't have dared ship like that before. Guess money talks.
