Google Gemini Ultra 1.0 Complete Review - Worth the Upgrade?

Google Gemini has released a brand new AI model called Gemini Advanced, powered by Ultra 1.0, which requires a $20 dollars a month subscription plan.
So before you upgrade, let me run Gemini Ultra through a deep drive and compare it to the free version of Gemini, powered by Gemini Pro to see if it’s worth the upgrade.
According to Google, Gemini Ultra is their most capable model and all new AI updates will be first released on Ultra.
And with this Google upgrade, you’ll soon get access to Gemini inside of Gmail, Docs and other Google apps too.

[@SkillLeapAI]

are you upgrading to Gemini Ultra/Advanced?

[@Sindigo-ic6xq]

no

[@Sindigo-ic6xq]

after one month yes since probably first more advanced features will start rolling out around that time and I have two months for free to try

[@Sindigo-ic6xq]

would like to know which llm is more reliable, gpt or gemini? because gpt 4 is apparently wrong around 1 time out of 30 when it comes to hallucinations

[@ashbornaiWTF]

You have 2 months free, I don't see why one wouldn't. Just to take the 2 months :)

[@thaholylemon43]

Yep

[@kathryncainmadsen5850]

So. let me check my understanding as of May 2024. I already have a low-level Google Workspace. If I sign up for Gemini Business addon ($20mo), I will get the same Google Pro 1.5 that the consumer Gemini is offering, but in my workspace...correct? OR is that ULTRA? Google ONE? I am still confused.

[@Xenoyer]

I saw a white horizontal line faintly in the background.

[@FaustineVinceLPO]

Hello I'd like to ask how to integrate ecommerce platforms with Gemini Advanced.

[@KawsarJami]

you are testing gemini ultra with the prompts which was generated from gemini ultra! it's like asking a child which questions you prefer and I will ask you them!

[@real45x63]

The problem here is that Google may be forever playing catch up to Chat-GPT. It's expected that Chat-GPT 5 will be released this year, and it will be a MASSIVE update. And based on this video, I still think Chat-GPT 4 is better.

[@jackrandom4893]

I prefer my brain. AI is for lazy people.

[@arinkim708]

i agree google is light years behind chatgpt, gemini literally feels like chatgpt 3.0 lol, really bad. It feels really buggy, literally cannot even do basic things that you can do in chatgpt

[@animishtianimishti]

Why doesn't google just buy chat Gpt?

[@ajitnairm]

Do you think there is a privacy concern if we use Gemini Google Workspace extension, especially when Google is showing a warning message "Your conversations are processed by human reviewers"?

[@Dragonk116]

Bro this is Google we are talking about, you have no privacy with Google.

[@Dragonk116]

Even with ultra, Chat-GPT 4 seems to be fair superior and with a possible Chat-GPT 5 it's hard to pick Gemini Ultra over Chat-GPT

[@everydayweplay2486]

Is there a way to contact you about the subscription service? There’s an issue and no one is responding

[@SkillLeapAI]

Yes sure. Please email me at [e-mail] or use the live chat on the site

[@thaholylemon43]

So do you think that Gemini will take over the reign of gpt 4?

[@truthwillout2371]

Nope. I get the impression Sam Altman is gonna lead the charge on this. @@thaholylemon43

[@olgabroviy7212]

I just upgraded and tring it. We will see and looking forward to hear what you will say bz comparing it with Gpt4

[@thaholylemon43]

Also wondering, will Gemini be better than chat gpt in a few months?

[@CosmicCells]

OpenAI has been hard at work on improving GPT 4 and testing GPT 5. You do not expect OpenAI to sit still and do nothing right?

[@akashpatel70239]

What English speakers don’t see is how good Gemini is in other languages compared to ChatGPT. I have seen it doing creative works like poem by miles compared to ChatGPT . Of course it is not as good as it is in English.

[@valentinnegrutiu5756]

you work at Google don't you

[@pritigupta-nz5ek]

Hi Akash would like to talk about the same how cn we

[@marcopala417]

Yep, but it is not at level of ChatGPT 4 so far.

[@Dragonk116]

Correct, if you use ChatGPT 4 you will realize it pretty quickly.

[@thaholylemon43]

Bro google removed the free trial for 2 months, just got locked out of my premium subsription, help

[@TechBytePlug]

wdym

[@winandmachk]

I just tried create an image and it’s saying I can’t do that 😅😂

[@ashbornaiWTF]

you need to be in the USA / UK

[@winandmachk]

@@ashbornaiWTF I am in the uk 🇬🇧🥺

[@winandmachk]

@@ashbornaiWTF I just VPN to US, now it works. May be it only works for the US.

[@thaholylemon43]

Does Gemini advanced have a msg limit?

[@SkillLeapAI]

not right now. I never hit a limit and haven't seen any reports of it

[@thaholylemon43]

So im guessing another advantage gemini has over gpt is it has unlimited messages whilst gpt 4 sadly only has 40 per 3 hrs with +

[@SkillLeapAI]

Yep

[@LiveContentCreator]

I mean, what could you possibly need 40 messages for? 😅

[@andreaskrbyravn855]

but it isnt

[@nomadicneurons824]

I was disappointed. Chatgpt 4 is better.
