Just in the last few days I had an example where the Google Search version of Gemini had a much better and more comprehensive answer, by far, than ChatGPT. It had to do with Amazon’s use of Data Matrix barcodes on shopping bags. Gemini was able to fully describe how they’re used in Amazon’s logistics chain. ChatGPT essentially said it didn’t know. Your preconceptions may not be accurate.

People are really slow to update their priors after bad experience with an early version

They might be, but still, I’ll be difficult to convince that Google’s shitty-ass 10B params instant answer models are good at anything other than cookie recipes and producing farts real fast for real cheap.

For what it’s worth, any time I see that feature, it’s all farts.
