Bard was a strange name... Gemini might be better... Stop changing the name?

#282I would be willing to pay for an AI that it's not constantly worrying about my safety and ethics, it's very frustrating that even when I ask for tech related topics, Gemini it's holding information on the basis of actions that might cause harm to my devices.
It's also pretty well known that censorship may dumb down the LLM even in other fields. With mega prompts to ensure safety it has a lot of stuff to work with that can overwhelm the LLM and simply make it appear "dumber".

That doesn't really work for openly hosted models, since whoever's doing the hosting can be held liable for what it generates.
What you want are unaligned local models, you just need to pay for the hardware to run them and grab one from Huggingface. They're not as smart, but endless fun to talk to.

#284Earlier quoted context omitted.
As expected, I asked the same questions to perplexity.ai, and it gave a correct response, just with a minor disclaimer at the end explaining the risks.
It's not even funny how much better perplexity.ai is than everyone else
In a few tests I just ran, Gemini/Advanced is currently eating everyone's lunch. It can even do things like 'show me directions to nearest starbucks' or 'plan a trip to x with chepeast tickets'.
Can you quantify your assesment with a few examples?

#285Germany is in the Supported Countries list for Gemini Advanced, but the Google Gemini mobile app is not available in the country.

#286This is an impressive product, well done Google. There is a PM in there somewhere who knows what they are doing, kudos to you. Prediction: they get to 6-7 digit number of paying customers, decide it is peanuts for them (~$20M/mo) and instead decide to push the free version with ads with full force as the future of search.
and then, since no massive adoption as they wished, they kill the product with one month notice...

#287I go to gemini.google.com.
I type an prompt with "Create an image of ...".
Response:
> I can't create images yet so I'm not able to help you with that.
Still broken, still not functional despite Google having announced this feature many days ago. I love many Google products but I am slowly losing a lot of faith and goodwill towards Google. This is just embarrassing.

Oh I see they’ve improved and now give longer notice periods? Lol

#289If you switch to Gemini as your default assistant, it can't even create calendar events
This is what I am mostly looking forward to test today. Google Assistant does such an embarrassing job that I've already given up on it

Gemini advanced is not free. You’re trying the free version. Hit the dropdown in the top left and hit upgrade to advanced.
