Original article https://bit.ly/3OFgCMN by Jose Antonio Lanz
This post by Jose Antonio Lanz takes an in-depth look at the two leading AI tools in the market: Google’s Gemini Advanced and OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus. The choice between the two isn’t about which tool is superior in every single aspect but rather hinges on your specific needs, preferences, and existing workflow.
Image generation
Image generation is a major feature of both these AI tools. While Gemini focuses on achieving realism, it currently only generates square images. On the other hand, ChatGPT Plus, with its Dall-E 3 functionality, gives users the ability to specify image dimensions but it has a more cartoon-like style.
In terms of voice convenience, Gemini’s seamless read-aloud feature is integrated with the Google ecosystem. At the same time, ChatGPT Plus has a native mobile app that lets you converse with the AI tool from anywhere.
Speed
When it comes to speed, Gemini Ultra outperforms GPT-4, offering high-quality outputs at faster speeds. However, privacy concerns arise with both tools, with ChatGPT storing chats for 30 days, while Google stores your data for up to 18 months.
ChatGPT Plus also features the ability to analyze PDFs, which Gemini currently lacks. This might be a significant factor for those who frequently work with PDFs.
Search functionality
In terms of search functionality, Gemini, being linked to Google, tends to provide superior search results. However, it’s important to remember that every AI-generated answer can include hallucinations, hence fact-checking is crucial.
Third-party apps
What sets ChatGPT Plus apart is its ability to integrate with third-party apps, opening up endless possibilities for users. It also offers personalized conversations and the potential for creators to earn through the GPT store.
In conclusion, your choice between Google’s Gemini Advanced and OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus should be based on your specific needs, preferences, and workflow. Both tools have strengths and are worth the investment depending on your requirements. Understanding the capabilities of each tool is key before committing to a $20-a-month subscription.
