> Your conversations are processed by human reviewers to improve the technologies powering Gemini Apps. Don’t enter anything you wouldn’t want reviewed or used. I appreciate them being upfront with that, but for a paid feature, it sucks that they offer no privacy or opt-out mechanism.

It seems like you can disable the data being used from training by turning off gemini app activity. > You can turn Gemini Apps Activity off If you don’t want future conversations reviewed or used to improve machine-learning models, turn off Gemini Apps Activity Opens in a new window .

There's a thing that says even with activity off, they retain for 72 hours for "safety and reliability"

Search for it in the Play Store, first icons are Crypto.com and Gemini: Buy Bitcoin & Crypto options to install Scroll past the screenshots of those apps Scroll past the Limitied-time events Scroll past the You Might Also Like and Similar Apps OK now we see it, we install, it we launch it and..."Gemini isn't ccurrently available. Try again later." Bravo Google. Great launch.

Don't blame Google. Blame "Play Store". Probably the company behind it doesn't want Gemini to succeed.

Just tried it and it seems like indeed it is worse than GPT-4 in general, but better with some specific things - and most importantly for me, it has a ton of very new information in the model itself without having to search the web.

Infamous Dropbox comment vibes.

Training an LLM isn't just "scanning some documentation"

Did you just say Microsoft doesn't have a popular email service?

Yes. No where at the scale and reach of gmail. We are also talking about consumer emails (not enterprise / corporate)

Outlook(+Hotmail) is the third most popular email service. Just 3x smaller than the Gmail. It's definitely the same kind of scale.

It’s sad that a company of very smart people can’t figure out coherent naming. Can you imagine Apple causing confusion like this? I know it’s not a like-for-like comparison, but everything Apple does it seems like they have a grand strategy that’s clear for everyone to see. Things build up in a modular way to fit a big puzzle. Google, on the other hand, constantly makes up things on an ad hoc basis.

Compare it with Microsoft's copilot branding. It's simple, both casual and business people can understand what it does. Also appending it to other services like github or office adds more value to them.

Literally a few days ago:

Then you have also under Microsoft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub_Copilot (not to be confused with Copilot X).

ERRATA: I just noticed GPT-4 mixed up `h` and `f`, so it also got it wrong. This is a draw. Both AIs (and, apparently, myself) are terrible at reasoning. Guess we're not curing cancer with computers anytime soon :')

Kudos for the correction, but you should really put this, by far the most important context, in your original post.

I would love to, if YCombinator allowed me. The "edit" button is missing. I've edited on Reddit and other places where I posted this test.

"Sorry, Gemini Advanced isn't available for you" "Gemini Advanced is not yet available in some countries, for work accounts, or for users under a certain age." Learn more: https://login.corp.google.com/request?s=support.corp.google....

Google Work Paying users always get the short end of the stick.

Being stuck in a free GSuite legacy account is even worse. Migrating to a regular Google account seems impossible (moving everything, losing purchases, changing my YouTubeTV and Google Fi subscriptions) and I get every feature later, if at all (can't use YouTubeTV Family Sharing, for example.) But I'm stuck for the most part! By the time it's available for me, I'll have forgotten about Gemini altogether.

I’ve been pretty excited to finally try Gemini advanced. So far pretty disappointed. Here’s my go-to test question - which even chat gpt 3.5 can get. Question: I walk up to a glass door. It has the word push on it in mirror writing. Should I push or pull the door, and why Gemini advanced: You should push the door. Here's why: * Mirror Writing: The word "PUSH" is written in mirror writing, meaning it would appear corr…

If you ask it to reveal its answer last, it will do it correctly.

The weights inside a model interact with each other in a way that's a bit more complex than just saying "forget documentation from these 300 open source products you scanned last week and replace that knowledge with these updates". You're talking about doing a pretty big training job for each update that really ought to be done with all current training data.
