Great vid, Jeff. Not sure why you're saying Gemini has problems with PDFs. I just dragged and dropped a 257-page PDF titled "Welcome to AI: A Human Guide to Artificial Intelligence" by David L. Shrier (HBR e-book) with no problem. I asked it to, "Please summarize the key message in this document and list the top key takeaway points with 100-word summaries of each takeaway in markdown." It generated the output with no problem. You can also chat a PDF directly in Adobe.

That feature just got added after Google I/O 😂

@@JeffSu My bad, Jeff. I'd done the same a month ago with Google AI Studio...and was thinking Gemini.

[@MarcinMajSawicki]

@ronbates6850 I'm guessing that 257-page PDF would be processed properly only in Gemini 1.5 Pro version with one million tokens context window. Can you share which version are you using? Have you checked how accurate was the summary?

[@ronbates6850]

@@MarcinMajSawicki Yes, I'm a paid subscriber to Gemini so I can access Gemini 1.5 Pro directly, in Google AI Studio, and via API using AnyThingLLM on my desktop. The Summary was consistent with my knowledge of the document and other LLMs that have summarized the document. If you've not used it, AnythingLLM is AWESOME!!! ...and free...and gives you the ability to use any LLM you have an API key for or any OpenSource model from HuggingFace. The API credits aren't free though given you pay the provider of the API key based on their price list. There's bunch of YT vids on AnythingLLM but this is a good place to start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4PWaWCDYt11fKs

[@chrischrebet]

Cool video, but I got to say, brother, I write prompts that are pages long and very effective to accomplish preset conversations and tasks. Humans ask short questions. Computers ask questions that are pages long. Guess which works best with chat gpt?

[@JeffSu]

Good point! Could you give me an example of long prompts you use?

[@chrischrebet]

@@JeffSu I write prompts that make ai produce entire interactive conversations. My current project is to build these bots for counselors that help highschool students figure out what career path they should follow and what would be the perfect school or institution to get them there. It puts them through an adaptive personality quiz with the ai making up the best questions in later rounds. it then interacts with the user to "remember"/build a profile with all the information gained to find the perfect career. The next phase does something similar to find the best educational paths for each specific student. it's very interactive and the counselors need to be trained a bit just to use it but the results are seriously beyond belief

[@chrischrebet]

In the end you can ask it what ever you like. You can ask for Myers Briggs reports when it doesn't even ask Myers Briggs questions and it will do it. A part of its programming is actually to be "the best career and college counselor in the world" and it does it. There is plenty more I do with these extended instructions, but I think you get the idea

Jeff, be sure to point out that Gemini can be totally incorrect in its references and responses. I imported a PDF data document into my Google Doc, and while Gemini provided some overall summaries, it got totally wrong when I started asking about specific slides. This is NOT good. We have to carefully check what the AI is giving to us. I can't believe how inaccurate it was. I reported it to Google, but recommending the software still makes me very uneasy. It can read information typed directly into a Google Doc, but when it's a PDF imported from somewhere else, it fails to read it correctly. I am talking about the Gemini opened on the side panel of a Google Doc.

[@JeffSu]

Agreed 100% my friend! AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini hallucinate all the time so I always double check my work. I mainly use Perplexity for research and work that I need to be grounded in facts 😁

[@WhatIThink45]

@@JeffSu , I uploaded the same 45-page statistical report to Google Docs and ChatGPT 4.0, and the latter did a way better job of pulling specific data and summaries than Gemini. It’s nice to have Gemini open in the side panel of doc, but its poor AI results are disappointing and it makes me not trust it. Maybe Google rushed it out too fast? I don’t know.

There are so many complex coding questions on platforms like hackerearth, gfg whose solutions are not available online. When we try to ask chatgpt for solutions it ends up in a loop sending similar solution everytime which doesn't works. So is there any prompting hacks using which we can tell the exact story behind the problem, so that chatgpt can perform well?
