    At work, we have chatgpt for code AI support.

    But at home, I use bard (or Gemini now). Also Gemini does not have a api I can go into.

    Comparing the two with about half a year of usage –

    Gemini has been giving better answers overall. One extremely good use case is writing JavaScript and node. It frequently gives me modern JS, and often is correct in one or two prompts. Where Chatgpt, I have to modify the prompt a few times to request esmodules over commonjs and some other technical details. It freaks me out how bad some of the Chatgpt JS code examples are and worried to see my juniors use it.

    Another is that Gemini also gets updated with the latest data. Ive been doing a lot of hobby research on geography and time periods of the geography, and Chatgpt frequently has to get fact checked. One major wtf was when the area I was researching had a “Springfield”, and Chatgpt gave me Simpsons storefronts.

    Chatgpt has been just better for creativity. Those hallucinations are hilarious, and have been great for placeholder content or to help me flesh something out.

    Chatgpt (or maybe OpenAI) generates better art. Gemini just released that option, so I haven’t done much comparison.

    I honestly don’t care who wins. I’m just trying to do cool shit with AI while we’re still in a wild West of it.

    Meanwhile,

    “Okay Google, set a timer for 5 minutes.”

    Google Home:

    “Sorry. I don’t understand. By the way, you should listen to what I say, and you can’t stop me saying ‘by the way’.”

      On the bright side, my Google assistant understood me calling her a dumb fucking bitch after the 4th “I don’t understand” and apologized.

      Also why are these fuckers not using ai for natural language processing? “Hey Google, turn the living room lights off and the bedroom lights on and change them to blue” should be simple to parse with an llm, but I have to say hey Google 3 times to accomplish that.

    It still can’t do a lot of what chatgpt can do like giving a csv and telling it to format it based on a certain prompt.

    Wow, Feb 15th 2024 will be looked back on as a big day in the history of AI. OpenAi’s Sora & this announcement by Google. Both with huge implications.
