I do appreciate how Gemini seems to be consistently getting better at delivering assistance and information on a broad range of topics beyond code. You are touching onto a topic that holds a lot of weight for the future, which is what do we really mean by General. Does it do everything? Does it communicate with everyone? How will the world really look and notice once AGI exists? If it does will we still only strive to monetize it?

Gemini is also my favourite. It’s very smart and has a backbone. I don’t think the Gemini 3 Pro complaint is very fair as it was listed as ‘preview’. Although I should note Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite is 2.5x the cost of the previous version and I’m quite annoyed by that.

Gemini on the web as a chat app is great (as well as NotebookLM). But Antigravity is an embarrassment and the reason I cancelled my Gemini subscription. I'd recommend avoiding it at all costs. It has degraded so badly in the last two weeks it's hardly usable anymore.

I’ve had Gemini out reason Claude in couple instances that really impressed me. I’m only on the free tier. I won’t pay google for anything due to their draconian no recourse cancellation policies. I don’t see that changing any time soon.

One of my buddies works in a company that makes very popular Text AI models. His words "Gemini's visual understanding AND output in best in class and we use it in production apps"

Y'all. Every year for attendance in one of my classes I just pass around a sheet of paper, first and last name on the left, school id code (which does incorporate initials of names) on the right, with space in between.

I'm thinking there's no way an AI can get it right. 50 IT students (like people who don't write on a regular basis) different handwriting, and it's not lined paper and the names and ID are NOT aligned.

Tried Copilot, not even close or usable.

Gemini gave me a perfect spreadsheet/csv. I'm not sure if this is impressive to others or whatnot, but that one blew me away.

homey's entire first novel was about google. this is an unsurprising take (though i love him especially for tipping me to outlier)

don't feel that here, chatgpt still gave me better answers most of the time so I had to subscribe both, no clear winner yet.
