Interesting, probably "fake news" then on X. Is there a way to publicly share Gemini interactions like with chatGPT?
Apparently yes, even from the Google mobile app where I did this. https://g.co/bard/share/325bfd6d79cd

It was not so easy to even find out how to buy Gemini Ultra, apparently it's called "Gemini Advanced," or maybe it's called "Google One AI Premium Plan." Searching for "Gemini Ultra" doesn't give you a link to any this on any of the top page of hits on a Google Web Search, and you have to dig deep in announcements to find it.
I've been very dissatisfied with all the free Google options, but this post has given me the kick to see if the bigger models can compete.

#24There are posts going around X that Gemini image generation is very biased toward minority preferences even when factual data and real-life statistics don't support the outputs. For example, can somebody ask Gemini to generate a picture of a typical Swedish women?

How do you get Gemini Ultra to generate images? It just tells me that it can't do that yet.
"Can you draw a photo of an avocado-shaped chair with a pineapple-man sitting in it?" Came up with 4 images. You raise a good point, though... I've also asked it to use its "web search" capability for tasks and it says it doesn't have that capability, but when I ask it by implying it should do a web search, it goes ahead and does it. Weird!
There’s no internal understanding of itself or its capabilities.

#26I'm a Google Fi subscriber, so I still can't switch to the Google One plan with access to it. Incredibly frustrating.

Response was that you have to request access, either through 1) your account representative, or 2) "Apply through Google: If you don't have an account representative, you may be able to apply for access through Google's channels (a specific form or process might be available)"
I don't have an account representative, of course (who does?!)
But the really interesting thing is that there was an additional annotation added to option 2, about the other channels, that said "Google Search didn’t find relevant content. Consider researching further to assess the statement." which sounds about right.
So, the model itself seems OK, if Google can figure out how to get out of its own way.

#28I subscribe to both ChatGPT and Gemini Ultra. Some interesting features/experiences with Gemini... 1. I asked it to do an image search and it responded with in-line images throughout its response. This was a nice "wow" moment and very neat. 2. Its drawing/illustration style is different than DALL-E, so I use both. 3. Quality of general text responses is comparable, though I prefer ChatGPT. I imagine you can probably…

I just tried asking it again and asking seems to work now too.
