Differences Between Gemini & ChatGPT

How different can two AI softwares really be?

Well, Gemini is integrated with Google’s ecosystem. So, Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Maps (as well as many others) all have access to Gemini.

Gemini can be used to organise project timelines, goals, and milestones to streamline your work progress, as well as setting reminders for deadlines to help you stay on track! Among so many other things, your Google assistant can also aid you with analysing data, giving you insights into your findings and providing potential causes for your data.

ChatGPT has a range of uses; mainly used for content production such as writing reports, brainstorming captions and hashtags, and writing blog posts (not this one though!). Despite this, ChatGPT has many other uses that users may not know about! More niche uses for ChatGPT include character backstory generation, virtual museum guide, writing alternate universe fiction, and even historical roleplay!

Gemini: Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Human element; Gemini’s natural language processing allows it to generate human-like responses to questions, for more authentic conversation.


• Real-time web access; Real-time web access allows Gemini to access up-to-date information for more accurate responses, a unique feature to this chat-bot.


• Generative capabilities; Gemini can produce texts in various styles and structures, ensuring quality content in the correct style for your business. The AI can also translate languages with a high level of accuracy, and generate and debug code!

Cons:

• Cost; Whilst users can access Gemini for free, to gain access to more of Gemini’s features users can subscribe to the AI Premium Plan for £15.79. The advanced features include increased storage, access to Gemini Advanced, and increased integration to Google apps.


• Language limitation; Gemini is currently only available in English.


• Under development; As is the case with most AI, Gemini is still a work in progress, so there may be errors or inconsistencies.

ChatGPT: Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Versatility; ChatGPT isn’t just useful for work related prompts, it can be used for a wide variety of things. Creativity is encouraged!


• Large knowledge base; This AI model was trained on a large dataset, making it more knowledgeable on a variety of topics.


• Multilingual; ChatGPT is suitable for a global audience as it can understand and respond in many different languages.

Cons:

• Limited context retention; This AI can struggle to remember context throughout a long conversation, resulting in inaccurate or irrelevant responses.


• Data dependent; ChatGPT’s knowledge is based on the data it was trained on, this can lead to inaccurate or out-of-date responses.


• Cost; Users can access the free version of ChatGPT, however for more features there is a cost of £24/month. ChatGPT Plus includes features like faster response times, priority access to new features and improvements, and access to GPT-4 which provides more accurate responses than the GPT-3.5 model that the free tier uses.
