Maria Diaz/ZDNET reported that Google has rebranded Bard as Gemini, along with the release of a more advanced and expensive version called Gemini Advanced. This new offering from Google is comparable to ChatGPT Plus, both priced at $20/month. In testing generative AIs, ChatGPT performed well across various coding challenges, while Gemini Advanced faced difficulties in simple tasks like creating a WordPress plugin and rewriting a string function. ChatGPT excelled in handling different programming languages and tasks, highlighting its superior performance compared to Gemini Advanced, which displayed limitations and errors in its code generation. This raises concerns about the effectiveness and reliability of AI tools like Gemini Advanced for coding assistance. Overall, the experience with Gemini Advanced was disappointing, leading to a conclusion that it may not be a worthwhile investment compared to ChatGPT’s capabilities.
