Early Impressions of Google's Gemini Aren't Great

Google has unveiled its new AI model, Gemini, intended to power various products and services, including Bard. Despite Google's claims of Gemini's superior architecture and performance, anecdotal evidence suggests the model struggles with accuracy. For instance, it incorrectly identified the 2023 Oscar winners and provided inconsistent responses to the same question.

Additionally, Gemini Pro seems to struggle with translation and summarizing news. Despite having access to Google Search and Google News, the model appears hesitant to comment on potentially controversial topics, instead directing users to conduct their own Google searches.
