I recently proposed a solution to my boss (who's older than I am, but not by much) regarding a technical problem we have been having the last few days. He said "that won't get you anywhere. Ask Gemini."

Reluctantly, I did. Besides asking it how to disable it, it was the first time I (sort of) voluntarily interacted with it.

It made three suggestions. Two didn't work. The other one was the solution I proposed to my boss. I told him that (more politely) and he said he wasn't really interested in addressing the problem anyway and that I should move on.
