Survey reveals you want one simple thing from AI, and it’s not more bells and whistles

It doesn’t feel that long ago that we first fired up ChatGPT, only to be wowed by how it could respond and answer queries as if it were semi-sentient. But such is the pace of the industry, it’s hard to keep up with all the functionality of each AI tool in 2026. They feel like productivity octopuses now, with tentacles in every app and more integrations and features than you can shake a stick at. Workflows like Gemini Notebooks and apps like NotebookLM are two good examples of how quickly Gemini has evolved. We wanted to know whether all that extra functionality really matters to you, or whether you’d rather the likes of Google and OpenAI should just focus on making sure AI can give you the best possible answers.

We put the question to you in a poll after my colleague Karandeep made the case that Gemini Notebooks — especially with NotebookLM in the mix — had made him rethink ChatGPT. His argument was about what could win him over when choosing an AI tool, specifically about Google giving Gemini a more useful workflow with things like Notebooks and custom sources. That’s his personal take, but we all have our own view of how AI tools could up their game. Here’s how you voted.
