> First of all, Google is a shell of the company it used to be.
Isn't that squarely at odds with Google's supposed AI prowess? Is the rot really so severe that their advances in AI (including things they've yet to make public) are insufficient to overcome it? Or are the capabilities of Gemini and AI systems in general being oversold?

I pretty much sure that if anyone asked Gemini "Is it good idea to retroactively opt-in new services into for old API keys?" it would suggest it's bad idea. Problem is that no one asked.
I've learned repeatedly that LLMs are very susceptible to helpfully giving you the wrong answer when you're asking the wrong question, or asking it in the wrong way.
… Of course they are being oversold.
But also, I don’t think even Google would claim that their LLM stuff can solve problems like this.
