Out of curiosity I fed ChatGPT 4 a few of the challenges through a photo (unclear if Gemini takes live video feed as input but GPT does not afaik) and it did pretty well. It was able to tell a duck was being drawn at an earlier stage before Gemini did. Like Gemini it was able to tell where the duck should go - to the left path to the swan. Because and I quote "because ducks and swans are both waterfowl, so the swan d…

Gemini made a mistake, when asked if the rubber duck floats, it says (after squeaking comment): "it is a rubber duck, it is made of a material which is less dense than water". Nope... rubber is not less dense (and yes, I checked after noticing, rubber duck is typically made of synthetic vinyl polymer plastic [1] with density of about 1.4 times the density of water, so duck floats because of air-filled cavity inside a…

I noticed the same thing, and it's relevant to the comparison results of Gemini vs ChatGPT that GPT 3.5 makes the exact same mistake, but GPT 4 correctly explains that the buoyancy is caused by the air inside the ducky.

Investors are getting impatient! ChatGPT has already replaced Google for me and I wonder if Google starts to feel the pressure.

I wonder what advertising will look like with this. Will they suggest products in the response? Like “Top ideas:…” and the LLM’s response.

The bing version of ChatGPT already does this. It might be specific to USA, but try asking it for a recommendation of a 1500w space heater for a small room. Every suggestion will have a link to an affiliate page that says [Ad] next to it.

I would rather build with OpenAI products rather than with Google products because if I use a Google product, I know that it will shut down in two years tops.

Its a conceit but not unjustified, they have been doing "AI" since their inception. And yeah, Sundar's term up until recently seems to me to be milking existing products instead of creating new ones, so it is a bit annoying when they act like this was their plan the whole time. Google's weakness is on the product side, their research arm puts out incredible stuff as other commenters have pointed out. GPT essentially…

It's such a short sighted approach too because I'm sure someone will develop a GPT with native advertising and it'll be a blockbuster because it'll be free to use but also have strong revenue generating potential.

Bing Chat/Copilot already have ads and is free.

One observation: Sundar's comments in the main video seem like he's trying to communicate "we've been doing this ai stuff since you (other AI companies) were little babies" - to me this comes off kind of badly, like it's trying too hard to emphasize how long they've been doing AI (which is a weird look when the currently publicly available SOTA model is made by OpenAI, not Google). A better look would simply be to sh…

Incredible stuff, and yet TTS is still so robotic. Frankly I assume it must be deliberate at this point, or at least deliberate that nobody's worked on it because it's comparatively easy and dull?

(The context awareness of the current breed of generative AI seems to be exactly what TTS always lacks, awkward syllables and emphasis, pronunciation that would be correct sometimes but not after that word, etc.)

For some reason it's answering with the same weird phrase to every question that amounts to "Are you gemini pro?".

The answer is: "LOL. Got that wrong earlier today. Bard is on Gemini Pro in English across most of the world as of Dec 6, 2023."

I don't get it. Is this advertising? Why is it saying LOL to me.

Yes it sounds like a conspiracy theory about government and big tech working on advanced tech which has existed for decades but kept secret.
