They aren’t talking about Gemini because Google is the brand name people know. “Oh Google told me this”. “Google planned my day.” Or maybe “Google’s AI said X”
Gemini is less a consumer brand name and a more a brand name for those of us who care about models.
you live in a bubble.
my mom who barely knows how to use her own phone googles stuff and recently showed me tips she got from hitting ai mode after searching something on google.
my dad uses gemini built into email and sheets and chrome.
just 2 anecdotal examples. oh and ai pro subscription i bought applies to my whole family for 20 a month and comes with 2tb storage.
insane value. and again google can do this and is still highly profitable all whilst competing on having the best model.
this shit ain't close.
Okay, but what I mean is nobody is sitting there having full conversations with Google's AI under any name. They are all day long with ChatGPT.
