It is difficult to use Gemini because they don't seem to have a public equivalent to chat.openai.com yet. But there is https://bard.google.com but I can't verify the model used.

Either way, I uploaded this picture from the Gemini example prompt library to both Bard and GPT4 and asked "How much does each item cost?". Bard showed me a map of Bali and GPT4 got every item correct.

Not sure if Bard is using Gemini yet, but them going around hyping up Gemini without a working public prototype seems like a fail on the statement "you only get one chance to make a first impression".

ChatGPT spread by word of mouth from people using it. Google is taking the opposite approach it seems.

That’s actually hilarious and would fit perfectly in a Silicon Valley episode.

Isn't the deal with this post about the "Google AI Studio" they released today? It's different than Bard. Also, I don't see the point in comparing Gemini Pro to GPT-4, since Google's own paper describes it as only slightly better than GPT 3.5.
