How does Google Gemini compare to GPT-4o? - GPT Tutorial

- Let's do a little bit of compare and contrast so that we can bring Google into the conversation. If you set this up and compare and contrast the capabilities and performance of GPT-4o and Gemini, just give us a sense of kind of what you've seen this week in terms of how those do compare in the marketplace. - Yeah, I would say that you sort of are comparing almost two things, right? It's hard to kind of like pick a winner, so to speak. It's easy to say, I think, that OpenAI is ahead technologically speaking. They're more advanced. You can also understand why, right? I mean, the way that OpenAI works is that they're trying to build the best tech possible, but they don't have the reach of Google. So what OpenAI does is that they build the best thing possible and they have all the developers in the world. In other words, people who are building apps, people who are building website, people who are building new tools. They take that as their engine and they plug that into their sports car, so to speak. So OpenAI doesn't have to worry about like building out the full Ferrari, right? They just have to worry about the engine and then let these really creative people out in the world take that engine and use it, which is very, very cool. So they're fast, they're, you know, small, brilliant engineers over at OpenAI and they can build that. And I don't think anybody could look at Google and look at OpenAI and not sort of say that the OpenAI advancements are superior to Google. Also, they'll release something and it'll be available almost the next day. So in that regard, you know, it's really worth it to try OpenAI. I will also say on that, that one of the big announcements that came out is that they're making this free to everybody. So one of the big things is that people were saying like, "Well, I don't want to pay $20 a month." That excuse has gone out the window. Like, I will continue to pay $20 a month because I think you'll get, you know, new features added, all that kind of stuff faster. But folks, like if you have a free version of ChatGPT, you now have this incredible model, which is unbelievable. And I think they're just trying to get it into the hands of as many people as possible. So in terms of just tech, OpenAI wins that race. What I love about what Google did though, Google has really kind of been playing catch-up for a while now for the last year, and they've had a few stumbles. I think Gemini is now a really powerful model. A few things that Gemini is. They now have what they call the token count just means essentially you'll hear things like token count and context window. That literally just means that search bar, how many words can you put in there? You know, so the bigger the number, the more words. So Google blew everybody away a couple months ago with a million tokens as opposed to, I don't know, 30,000 tokens or something. Like, so now instead of putting in, you know, 40 pages, you can put in like the entire "Lord of the Rings" trilogy into that. And then they just announced that Google I/O, they announced that they were expanding it to 2 million tokens and they're saying, "We want to expand this to infinite tokens." Small subnote, it matters because the more tokens, it's more expensive for Google, more expensive for an OpenAI. That's why a lot of companies can't compete. That's why this will always just be a space for a few companies. But the really interesting thing I think about Google is that first, they came out with this thing, Project Astra, which is very similar to what I described about OpenAI, this kind of companion. And the demo, you can find this on my Twitter, anybody's Twitter really who was there. It's like literally somebody holding up a phone as if you're taking a video, but they're walking around like a desk of things and they're like, "Hey, what's this?" And they're showing a speaker and they kind of circle it on their phone and they're like, "Oh, well, that part is the Twitter and it does this." Keep on walking past a laptop with code on the screen. "Hey, is there anything wrong with this code?" Oh, well it looks like blah, blah, blah." I don't know code, so I can't tell you what it was saying. You keep on going, it's like, "Hey, distinguish like this graph from this graph." They go out the window like, "What neighborhood do you think I'm in? This is all in one single take. And then they run the cool things with it like, "Hey, I left my glasses somewhere. Did you see them?" "Oh yeah, I saw them over." I mean, that really feels like you have a robot companion. Now, this is not available yet, but it's similar to what OpenAI was doing, right? So they need to keep up on that because I think that is the future of how we interact. They're also integrating Gemini, again, their ChatGPT competitor, into all their workspaces, so email, all that kind of stuff. They're also showing things like a better search through your photos. So you know, when, like the example they gave, like, you know, try and find your license plate, not searching through your photos or whatever. Like, it'll just know where that is. It's like, oh, it's over here. Or if you say, "Hey, show the progression of my, you know, eight-year-old learning to swim," and it'll pull out all those photos. It's just getting smarter with that. And I think that that is really, really huge. They did other things too, but I want to hover on that just for a second if that's okay because Google is playing a different game than OpenAI. Google has most of the eyeballs on the planet. They own over 90% of search, which is the bedrock of the internet, internet search. Everybody's using, you know, Docs, people use Google Flights. Like Google just owns us. Not owns us, I don't mean that nefariously. I just mean that it's a fantastic ecosystem. So what they're doing is very slowly integrating this into everything that you do. One of the other really cool things is for those of us at a certain age that remember Clippy, my gosh, that paperclip that we wanted to, you know, toss off of our computer. They now have something called Chipp, but it's actually useful. And it will just sort of sit there and it's sort of like your assistant. It's like, "Hey, Chipp or whatever, you know, can you put this email into a Google Doc and then break it out into a sheet?" And it'll just start doing that for you because Google has everything integrated. And the last thing I'll say on that. One of the reasons I'm so excited about that is again, this behavioral thing. AI sort of has to meet you where you are. It doesn't do you any good to sort of try to change your whole pattern of workflow, but all of a sudden, if the things that you do every day have become easier because of AI, like automatic note taking in Google Meet and all that kind of stuff, that will really change how we behave and I think how we interact with AI and technology in general.
