Dentists in Dublin: which clinics ChatGPT and Gemini name
Switch from ChatGPT to Gemini and the Dublin answers change course. Gemini named Portobello Dental Clinic in 18 of 30 answers, while ChatGPT named it in 2 of 30, a real split between the two models. One name from outside the clinic list came up often: Dublin Dental University Hospital, in 39 of 60 answers.
What you ask about matters too. For a demanding case that needs implants, the answers named Beacon Dental Clinic in 2 of 4. One question asked for somewhere on the cheaper side with clear prices up front, and none of the five clinics on the list appeared in any of its 4 answers. Charlestown Dental Centre was not named in a single answer.

Where the answers disagree
For these clinics the two ranges do not overlap, so the difference is larger than repeated asking would explain.

How Dublin was measured
Each of the 18 questions went to ChatGPT and to Gemini; 12 of them were asked twice, with the model's web search off and on. A question that itself named a clinic is left out, since its answer would name that clinic by force. The clinics we tracked are the ones we chose to measure in Dublin and the clinics they compete with for the same patients.
Ansmeter Benchmark v2.0, methodology 2026.10, prompt library 2026.10-service-voice. The method and its limits: Methodology. The table as a file: data.csv.
We ran this measurement on our own initiative; no clinic asked for it or paid for it. If a clinic's name or website is wrong here, write to us and we will correct it.
