Ok, but Google's result summary got the answer wrong. So did Gemini, when I tried it (Lion, Sierra Leone). And so did ChatGPT when I tried it (Lion, Sri Lanka).
So... it's impressive, sure, because the author is correct that a search engine can't answer that question in a single query. But it's also wildly wrong.
I also vaguely agree with the author that Google Drive sucks, but I wish they'd mentioned that the solution to their problem - using search! - also fucking sucks in Google Drive.
