0 trust to what they put out until I see it live. After the last "launch" video which was fundamentally a marketing edit not showing the real product, I don't trust anything coming out of Google that isn't an instantly testable input form.

Essentially, the focus seems to be on leveraging the media buzz around Gemini 1.0 by highlighting the development of version 1.5. While GPT-4's position relative to Gemini 1.5 remains unclear, and the specifics of ChatGPT 4.5 are yet to be disclosed, it's worth noting that no official release has taken place until the functionality is directly accessible in user chats.

Google appears to be making strides in catching up.

When it comes to my personal workflow and accomplishing tasks, I still find ChatGPT to be the most effective tool. My familiarity with its features has made it indispensable. The integration of mentions and tailored GPTs seamlessly enhances my workflow.

While Gemini may match the foundational capabilities of LLMs, it falls short in delivering a product that efficiently aids in task completion.

I don't mean this in a bad way, but when I read a comment like yours which includes phrases like "seamlessly enhances my workflow" and "efficiently aids in task completion", I can't help but feel like it's ChatGPT-generated, and if so I think it's a shame, just write like yourself.

But maybe you do, and I am seeing patterns in sand.

Niet OP maar als ik als mezelf schrijf, dan denk ik niet dat je me zomaar begrijpt ;)
Ik begrijp het prima hoor ;)

I say it's even more than that. OpenAI had a bigger lead when it released GPT-2 than it does now. They're burning through cash to try to hold on to a lead of a few months over the competition.

The videos shown in these demos have clearly learnt from that as they're using a real live product, filmed on their computers with timers in the bottom showing how long the computations take.
I completely share the same views as you after their last video - and it appears that they've learnt their lesson this time.

If you watch the videos in the blog post, you can see it's a screen recording on a computer without any editing/stitching of different scenes together.

It's good to be sceptical but as engineers we should all remain open.

100%. Google continues to underwhelm. Not buying it until I can try it.
