Is it worth a subscription (compared to GPT-4)?
Does anyone have interesting anecdotes in different categories? Programming, General Lookup, Math, etc

#2I subscribe to both ChatGPT and Gemini Ultra. Some interesting features/experiences with Gemini...
1. I asked it to do an image search and it responded with in-line images throughout its response. This was a nice "wow" moment and very neat.
2. Its drawing/illustration style is different than DALL-E, so I use both.
3. Quality of general text responses is comparable, though I prefer ChatGPT.
I imagine you can probably just use one rather than have both. I am still primarily using ChatGPT.

#3I don't live in the US, so I'm not finding it at all.

#4Currently subscribing to both, and for tricky programming questions I go ahead and ask both and take the answer I like more. There was an AWS networking problem I was debugging that Gemini got but GPT4 didn't, but Gemini has trouble with giant pasted code, and doesn't allow file upload yet, which is a major blocker for me.

How do you get Gemini Ultra to generate images? It just tells me that it can't do that yet.

#6I'm a Google Fi subscriber, so I still can't switch to the Google One plan with access to it. Incredibly frustrating.

"Can you draw a photo of an avocado-shaped chair with a pineapple-man sitting in it?"
Came up with 4 images.
You raise a good point, though... I've also asked it to use its "web search" capability for tasks and it says it doesn't have that capability, but when I ask it by implying it should do a web search, it goes ahead and does it. Weird!

Have you tried NotebookLM for file uploads?

I keep separate @gmail and Google workspace accounts so that I never run into “not supported here” issues.
