This is a whole bunch of patting themselves on the back.

Let me know when Gemini 3 Pro and Opus 4.5 are compared against it.

I recently built a webapp to summarize hn comment threads. Sharing a summary given there is a lot here: https://hn-insights.com/chat/gpt-52-8ecfpn .

I keep asking ChatGPT to read and summarize HN front page while driving, and it keeps blundering. I don’t know if there’s a business for you in this, but I would pay. Of course I always have questions about the subject, so it become the whole voice chat thing.

Interesting I recently added the ability to receive a daily email digest. Would just need a way to read it out. I'll look into what a conversational voice chat might look like.

I have been using chatGPT a ton over the last months and paying the subscription. Used it for coding, news, stock analysis, daily problems, and a whatever I could think of. I decided to give Gemini a go when version three came out to great reviews. Gemini handles every single one of my uses cases much better and consistently gives better answers. This is especially true for situations were searching the web for curre…

Google AI mode constantly does mistakes and I go back to chatgpt even when I don't like it.

Is it me, or did it still get at least three placements of components (RAM and PCIe slots, plus it's DisplayPort and not HDMI) in the motherboard image[0] completely wrong? Why would they use that as a promotional image? 0: https://images.ctfassets.net/kftzwdyauwt9/6lyujQxhZDnOMruN3f...

Yep, the point we wanted to make here is that GPT-5.2's vision is better, not perfect. Cherrypicking a perfect output would actually mislead readers, and that wasn't our intent.

Oh and you guys don't mislead people ever. Your management is just completely trustworthy, and I'm sure all you guys are too. Give me a break, man. If I were you, I would jump ship or you're going to be like a Theranos employee on LinkedIn.

I consistently have exactly the opposite experience. ChatGPT seems extremely willing to do a huge number of searches, think about them, and then kick off more searches after that thinking, think about it, etc., etc. whereas it seems like Gemini is extremely reluctant to do more than a couple of searches. ChatGPT also is willing to open up PDFs, screenshot them, OCR them and use that as input, whereas Gemini just igno…

I will say that it is wild, if not somewhat problematic that two users have such disparate views of seemingly the same product. I say that, but then I remember my own experience just from few days ago. I don't pay for gemini, but I have paid chatgpt sub. I tested both for the same product with seemingly same prompt and subbed chatgpt subjectively beat gemini in terms of scope, options and links with current decent de…

Because neither product has any consistency in its results, no predictive behaviour. One day it performs well, another it hallucinates non existing facts and libraries. Those are stochastic machines

I've read many very positive reviews about Gemini 3. I tried using it including Pro and to me it looks very inferior to ChatGPT. What was very interesting though was when I caught it bullshitting me I called its BS and Gemini expressed very human like behavior. It did try to weasel its way out, degenerated down to "true Scotsman" level but finally admitted that it was full of it. this is kind of impressive / scary.

Problem is that by default ChatGPT has the “Reference chat history” option enabled in the Memory options. This causes any previous conversation to leak into the current one. Just creating a new conversation is not enough, you also need to disable that option.

This is also the default in Gemini pretty sure, at least I remember turning it off. Make's no sense to me why this is the default.

> Makes no sense to me why this is the default.

You’re probably pretty far from the average user, who thinks “AI is so dumb” because it doesn’t remember what you told it yesterday.

It’s like having 3 coins and users preferring one or the other when tossing it because one coin gives consistently more heads (or tails) than the other coin.

What is better is to build a good set of rules and stick to one and then refine those rules over time as you get more experience using the tool or if the tool evolves and digress from the results you expect.

> Only downsides are in the polish department What an understatement. It has me thinking „man, fuck this“ on the daily. Just today it spontaneously lost an entire 20-30 minutes long thread and it was far from the first time. It basically does it any time you interrupt it in any way. It’s straight up data loss. It’s kind of a typical Google product in that it feels more like a tech demo than a product. It has theoreti…

I also love that I can leave the microphone on (not in live voice mode) while dictating to ChatGPT and pause and think as much as needed. With Gemini, it will send as soon as I stop to think. No way to disable that.

How did you do this?
