I am glad they are advancing the field but I think it's unfortunate that doesn't make them top dog. Gemini is not top tier to me but I admit that confusing naming and spotty worldwide rollout might be a reason why I am not familiar with their best model. But that's a signal on it's own.
Total disaster. Doing similar tasks to openai and claude, it just borks. And it is complaining about my desire to use a gender guesser python libary, and tells me that's inappropriate for non-binary people, and it won't do it.
That's fun.
Edit 1: Also it refuses to print the entire script. I've tried many work arounds, it seems to only want to output a very small number of total lines.
Threw it into ChatGPT and immediately it fixed all the issues with Gemini, and worked on first try.
Edit 2: The only thing better about Gemini as far as I can tell, is that the copy code button is on the bottom. ChatGPT's is at the top, and that's dumb.
Edit 3: I'm being downvoted heavily now, to be clear, I didn't intentionally seek out the gender issue, it's just what I was working on.
I'm currently trying to generate infographics based on wrestlers, and I needed to split the men from the female for championship title rankings.
I have no problem with it in general, it just came up, so I communicated it.
Multiple times Gemini removed the code using the gender guesser library because it felt I shouldn't use it. When trying to determine wrestlers, and their Title Chances, it makes a lot of sense...
But Gemini just refused to allow me to use it, which seems like a ridiculous thing. I want to make the choices here.
Problem with Google summed up. Ethics and pseudo sciences folks wanting to opinionate technology. That's akin to a kitchen knife refusing to cut gift wrapping paper because that's inappropriate use of a knife. The silliness
The problem with Gemini is the guardrails they've built into it which makes it useless for me. Which is a problem that has to do with Google and not any AI smarts.
The launch was faked and I don't think the real thing is here yet https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/googles-best-gemini-demo-w...
