Time To Cancel My ChatGPT Plus Account in Favour of Gemini ?
Is it time to consider cancelling my ChatGPT Plus account in favour of Gemini? The short answer is, No. The free version of Gemini is a more than adequate “sidecar” to ChatGPT. I like Gemini, but I am not ready to make it my primary Large Language Model (LLM).
There are a lot of things I like about Gemini but those things I like best can be found in the free version. This is not a bad thing for Google however, because the near seamless integration of Gemini with the rest of the Google ecosystem encourages me to use Google platform services including Google Docs suite, more than I would have otherwise done. In other words, with Google Gemini, you have a worthy and free alternative to Copilot for Microsoft 365 and perhaps that is the real point.
So, why use another LLM at all? There are two reasons. The first is the near seamless integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem, the second is simply what I call smarter responses.
Integration with Google’s Ecosystem
Begin your prompt with an @-sign and this is what you will see. Select one of these and it will focus your prompt on the google platform service you selected. It’s that simple.
