I use Gemini quite a bit. It can be helpful with various things and the Google integrations are useful.
I find GPT to be annoying.
But all of them, well it's interesting, because after long conversations they just get weird. I'm doing vacation planning and then Gemini started asking about hotel options for the three kids (I have 1) and then mentioning me flying into a random city.. It was drunk
I tried using Gemini to try to plan a trip recently. It led to a few useful high-level suggestions but I beyond that I found it too tedious for making a fully fleshed out itinerary.
Lot of people I work with use it for drafting emails. I draw the line there lol. Think it’s sad that people are too lazy to type out their own thoughts.
I use Chat GPT most but that is probably because it was the first major model and it originally subbed for google search. I think Claude is currently the best model of the four major models. I haven't used Perplexity much but the app sits on my phone. My only interaction with Gemini is via Google and Grok via X.
I use Chat GPT quite a bit and it is stirring how completely incorrect it can be for obvious questions while being very precise for harder inquiries.
- I might ask it to tell me what date I should visit a museum and it will tell me a date when the museum is closed because it assumed that date wasn't a day the museum is regularly closed.
- Meanwhile I could ask it to help me find an ATM in Bangkok that will accept a Diners Club card and it will find that one ATM in the whole city and it will direct me to it on foot in the middle of a mall. It's quite remarkable how specific it can be.
I don't pay for any of these models so perhaps the accuracy and service is better if you shell out for the monthly subs.
