I asked it to do a comparatively pedestrian task: write a script to show top 5 google searches.

First it did the search itself and then added "echo" for each of them - cute

Then it tried to use pytrends which didn't go anywhere

Then it tried some other paid service which also didn't go anywhere

Then it tried some other stuff which also didn't go anywhere

Finally it gave up and declared failure.

It will probably be useful as it can do the modify/run loop itself with all the power of Gemini but so far, underwhelming.
