Google Gemini: Could this be the ChatGPT killer?
REVIEW
Google is working on a model to take on OpenAI. But is it good enough?
In 2023, ChatGPT took off. The online artificial intelligence (AI) tool became so big that even your uncle who doesn’t own a smartphone knew about it. But as its owners, OpenAI, continue to polish and improve their prodigy, there’s a competitor ready to take over.
Soon after the launch of ChatGPT, Google announced it was working on its own AI tool, Bard. A rival to OpenAI’s offering, Bard could do all the things ChatGPT could, but with the might of the world’s largest search engine behind it.
Now, Google is taking another step forward with its latest AI project: Google Gemini. Currently being rolled out, Gemini is claimed to already be outperforming ChatGPT and it’s left plenty of us wondering if Google will take the AI top spot in 2024.
WHAT IS GEMINI AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
When it comes to AI, the application that everyone knows about is ChatGPT. But for that tool to work it needs to be powered by something, that’s where GPT-4 comes in. A large language model, GPT-4 is trained on billions of sets of data from the internet to understand images, texts, context and many other factors.
