Comment on Today's date is impossible according to Google Gemini

It seems more expressive than GPT-4 in general and better at itemizing information, but it’s a bit worse at keeping track of context and seems to hallucinate more than GPT-4 (but less than GPT-3). I’m currently on the free trial period so I’ll try it out for these two months and then see if it justifies switching over (the subscription is the same price so that won’t be the deal-breaker). One thing that it’s noticeably better at is researching online, probably because it uses Google as a backend instead of Bing lol.
It’s supposed to integrate with other services, if you use the Android/iOS app, as it can replace Google Assistant entirely and get access to info from other Google services. However, the app is unavailable in the EU and a few other countries as of yet, along with image generation. Classic case of EU favoritism towards Microsoft and not sanctioning it like it does Apple and Google… It’s also rumored that the ChatGPT Android app will get Assistant API integration “soon”, but it’s also not yet available (anywhere, AFAIK). Presumably, even if that is the case, Google can probably add in deeper system-level integrations, given how it’s their OS and their ecossystem.

EU favoritism of Microsoft? The same EU that fined Internet Explorer basically out of existence?
If anything it’s Microsofts much savvier handling of their AI policies that make them less of a target. Copilot is very clear that they aren’t entitled to use your data to train the base model, which is in stark contrast to OpenAIs agreement and Googles which basically say that anything entered into them is fair game for them to use to train.

I have experienced the same differences you mention. I would like to add that it’s a lot faster than GPT4.

GPT-4 also often just fails midway through writing an answer, while I haven’t had that happen with Gemini yet (though I need to use it a lot more to be able to provide a fair comparison in that regard).
