I feel that Google Gemini should know that Google has in fact released the Pixel 10 series of phones, maybe especially when I ask it a question about said phones using a Pixel 10 Pro XL

Am I the only one who is finding it hard to go through their institution's approval processes quickly enough to get registered to ICA just two weeks post- acceptance notification? (I know it's not *required* but I've always been able to get hotel reservations day-of-release before)

It does recommend going to AP and other places for more details, but no links and doesn't make clear whether those sources informed its responses.

Gemini gives me an accurate rundown of financial market news of the day but never shares the primary sources with me in the response (including the part I clip out). Especially interesting given that it makes reference to the "search results" as if it's something we're both looking at
