I've asked it (thinking 3) about the difference between Plus and Pro plans.
First it thought I am asking for comparison between Gemini and ChatGPT as it claimed there is no "Plus" plan on Gemini. After I insisted I am on this very plan right now it apologized and told me it in fact exists. Then it told me the difference is that I got access to newer models with the Pro subscription.
That is despite Google's own plan comparison page showing I get access to the Gemini 3 on both plans.
It also told me that on Plus I am most likely using "Flash" model. There is no "Flash" model in the dropdown to choose from. There is only "Fast" and "Thinking".
It then told me "Fast" is just renamed Flash and it likely uses Gemini 2.5. On the product comparison page there is nothing about 2.5, it only mentions version 3 for both Plus and Pro plans. Of course on the dropdown menu it's impossible to see which model it is really using.
How can a normal person understand their products when their own super advanced thinking/reasoning model that took months to train on world's most advanced hardware can't?
It's amazing to me they don't see it as an epic failure in communication and marketing.
