I had an interesting interaction:

Me: Are you using Gemini?

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

When I asked it about the statement it said:

Bard: I apologize for the confusion. The "lol I made this mistake earlier" statement was not intended for you, but rather a reflection on a previous mistake I made during my training process. It was an error in my model that I have since corrected.

How real is it though? This blog post says In this post, we’ll explore some of the prompting approaches we used in our Hands on with Gemini demo video. which makes it sound like they used text + image prompts and then acted them out in the video, as opposed to Gemini interpreting the video directly. https://developers.googleblog.com/2023/12/how-its-made-gemin...

After reading this blog post, that hands-on video is just straight-up lying to people. For the boxcar example, the narrator in the video says to Gemini: > Narrator: "Based on their design, which of these would go faster?" Without even specifying that those are cars! That was impressive to me, that it recognized the cars are going downhill _and_ could infer that in such a situation, aerodynamics matters. But the blog…

Wow I was blown away when I watched this video.

Now that I learned how fake it is, that is more evidence that Google is in really bad shape with this.

Unrelated to the content of the announcement, but the scrolling behavior of the 'threads' at the bottom of the page is really neat.

I'll need to look into how that was done - I've seen similar things before but I can't think of any that are quite as nuanced as this one.

One of the capabilities google should be evaluating their AI on is "determine if the top google search result for X is SEO spam AI nonsense or not."

Gemini Ultra isn't released yet and is months away still. Bard w/ Gemini Pro isn't available in Europe and isn't multi-modal, https://support.google.com/bard/answer/14294096 No public stats on Gemini Pro. (I'm wrong. Pro stats not on website, but tucked in a paper - https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/gemini/gemini_... ) I feel this is overstated hype. There is no competitor to GPT-4 being released today. I…

From a quick test, it is not as good as GPT4-turbo at this leetcode problem: https://leetcode.com/problems/calculate-money-in-leetcode-ba... Of the three answers Bard (Gemini Pro) gave, none worked, and the last two did not compile. GPT4-turbo gave the correct answer the first time. I agree that it is overstated. Gemini Ultra is supposed to be better than GPT4, and Pro is supposed to be Google's equivalent of GPT4-tu…

GPT-3.5 is similar to Pro

A lesson in how to commit securities fraud and get away with it.

Alexa from Amazon, Cortana from Microsoft, Siri from Apple. Erica from Bank of America, Jenn from Alaska airlines. Now Gemini from Google. What is with tech bro culture to propagate the stereotype that women are there to serve and be their secretaries. I like ChatGPT & Clippy. They are human agnostic names. I expect better from Google.

Given that Gemini is represented in Greek mythology by the two male twin half-brothers Castor and Pollux, I think you might be projecting a little.
