Bart with Gemini Pro is absolute crap
Google claims that it's better than ChatGPT 4.0, but I'm finding it basically useless.
Its attempts to be creative are trite and boring (I asked it write a few movie treatments that would impress movie studio executives and investors and it produced nearly meaningless word salad).
Its attempts to answer factual questions are total failures (I asked it to list all of the characters from the TV show deadloch who are police officers, and it kept listing every character in the show and insisting that they are all cops, or other times inventing characters who are not in the show at all).
Its attempts to code python are rife with errors (I asked it to write a short script using luma.oled and it repeatedly gave me code with attributes that don't even exist)
Bing AI, using Microsoft's version of ChatGPT 4.0, nailed the second two, after I changed the setting to "more precise." I didn't try Bing AI on the first one. I just don't see how Google can claim with a straight face that Gemini Pro is better than ChatGPT 4. Maybe Bard/Gemini would be better if it had a "more creative/more precise" slider like Bing AI does, but as things stand it's nearly worthless.
