Google Gemini vs. GPT 4: Which is the best AI?

Google's advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Gemini, and OpenAI's ChatGPT, which utilizes the GPT 4 model, provide top-notch AI solutions in contemporary time. These AI tools are capable of understanding and interacting with a variety of media, including text, images, video, audio, and code, as well as producing variants of each. Also, they offer expertise that could be expensive to reproduce with a human expert.

If you're contemplating which of these AI tools is worth investing time and energy in mastering, you'll want to select the superior one. However, is it Google's Gemini or OpenAI's GPT 4 which stands as the more proficient AI tool?

Both GPT 4 and Google Gemini are presently accessible in some form or the other. Google's Gemini Pro is available through Bard without any cost since December 6, 2023, and all one would require to make use of it is a Google account while GPT 4 is readily available via the ChatGPT tool with a GPT Plus subscription costing $20 monthly.

Gemini and GPT 4 feature set is quite alike. Both can engage with and interpret text, images, videos, audio, and code, illuminating a wide array of potential tasks. The two chatbots can conduct general conversations, answer inquiries, propose a recipe based on a snapshot of your pantry, estimate crowd size in a video, or provide suggestions on enhancing your code efficiency.

While both tools can be enhanced with additional extensions, Google's extensions are quite limited. Gemini can leverage Google applications like Flights, Hotels, Maps, YouTube, and Workspace. On the other hand, GPT 4 by OpenAI features a much wider array of plugins and extensions, mostly produced by third-party entities.

Moreover, GPT 4 offers some edge over Gemini in terms of customization. It permits users to generate custom versions to focus on specific tasks whereas Gemini does not currently offer customization options. GPT 4 also has the ability to generate images on the go, a feature that Gemini is yet to master.

However, Gemini trumps GPT 4 in terms of response time, delivering incredibly quick results. Both tools provide fact-checking options in some way or the other. GPT 4 provides source links while Gemini has a button to perform a Google search to confirm the information.

At the time of the launching of Gemini by Google, it was asserted that its Pro model outmatched GPT 4 in numerous AI applications, such as reasoning capacity. However, the real-world application proved quite challenging, with both AIs showing impressive responses to the same prompts.

Nevertheless, Gemini appears to avoid certain image interactions while GPT 4 showed no such restrictions. In the current scenario, GPT 4 seems to have an upper hand as it is a more comprehensive tool with enhanced capabilities through plugins and custom chatbots. Although Gemini offers raw ability and quick responses, its feature set is not as robust. Gemini Ultra, which is yet to be launched, may change the game, but that remains to be seen.
