I'm surprised that it generates wrong english words, I never saw it with ChatGPT.

"Approach: Atemplating language designed specifically for generating JSON data structures (which can then be easily converted to YAML for Kubernetes)."

"Atemplating".

Bard? Gemini? Gemini Advanced? Gemini Ultra? Ultra 1.0? I guess they haven't figured out naming yet. This has got to be the most confusing naming since the xbox series x.

I think that’s a side effect of each time they release a version to compete with ChatGPT and it’s not as good so they have to at the same time announce a few version that is suppose to be better than ChatGPT and each time it’s not overall so they have to announce a new version. Think this will continues for a while especially since non OpenAI companies have access to much less free data troves than they did not that…

ChatGPT quality has recently degraded. I am only getting two lines answers,

This is, what, the second rebrand of its AI in less than a year? From the company that could have owned the chat space, but instead had like 5 competing/rebranded chat products over the last 15 years and ceded the market entirely to competitors who had one cohesive brand identity and app…

I bet you have a hell of a time trying to buy gas. Do you pick Diesel, 85, 87, or 91?

This is also the first time Bard is available in Canada from what I can see.

I can confirm this, when the first post was up this morning I checked and Bard was still not available.

I'm excited to see it is now, and I'm looking forward to test driving Gemini for the next two months.

I'm curious why it is now available, maybe the privacy policy changes for Gemini resolved the issue.

So, the only way to get access to the Gemini Ultra 1.0(yeah so much better than “bard” to remember…) is a $20/month plan that comes with a lot of other Google stuff to reel people into their ecosystem?

I subscribed to gemini and in my account I'm having "Google One AI Premium" subscription.

Slightly more than $20, though. Gotta pay for privilege of living in the Kazakhstan, I suppose.

First two months are free. They just asked for bank card and checked it.

I heavily use Chat GPT's API in my day job, as it is the core of our business (Ai-powered startup). When Gemini Pro launched, me and my team tested it in the same day for our product, but we where disappointed as it is was a bit worse than gpt 3.5 (at least in the same prompts that we already had). I really hope that Gemini Ultra surpass gpt4, it is always exciting to see and use new advanced tech, but I'm still a li…

I'm willing to believe that Gemini isn't as good, but my impression was that you expect a new model to not perform as well on your existing prompts because the training set and training methodology is different. That's why one of the major risks of an AI business is vendor lock in, because you spend so much time optimizing a prompt for a specific model and you'll have to redo much of that work in order to switch vendors.

That you gave up so quickly when trialing a new model suggests the problem is even worse than I thought—you're locked in to OpenAI because every other model will always look worse to you, even if it would be better if you took the time to tune a new prompt.

I tested it immediately, but it is disappointing. At least here in Switzerland, it is not able to generate images, and a simple "look up this website and summarise the content" does not work either (can't access the website, but its a public website without any crawling limitations). I don't understand why Google is launching a product like this.

It's confusing because the name Bard and the UI also got an upgrade today, so I thought I was using Gemini Ultra but it turns out I'm not: https://imgur.com/a/3UriYpn — showing that Gemini Advanced is not what I'm using, unless I pay and upgrade. (If you cannot generate images you're likely not using Gemini Advanced.)

Yes i upgraded and the logo on the top left tells me that i am using gemini advanced. Still, not able to create images or browse the web.
