Gemini Live vs ChatGPT - Not Far Behind

Introduction

Hello everyone! Welcome to my channel. As promised, I am providing an in-depth comparison between the newly released Gemini Live and ChatGPT Plus. In this article, I will assess which one delivers the most natural voice experience and the best answers to multiple questions. So, without further ado, let’s jump in!

Birthday Ideas for a 12-Year-Old

To initiate the comparison, I asked a generic question regarding birthday ideas for a son turning 12 in October. The Gemini Live AI responded enthusiastically, asking about his hobbies and interests. After mentioning that the boy loves football, video games, and puzzles, Gemini suggested a Liverpool-themed party, proposing a scavenger hunt based on clues related to Liverpool and Mohamed Salah. However, it was disappointing that Gemini could not set reminders.

When I turned to ChatGPT, it offered creative ideas as well. After asking similar questions about the child’s interests, it delivered suggestions like a Salah-themed cake and a mini-theater for watching highlight reels. The major advantage of ChatGPT was its ability to set reminders, effectively addressing a gap Gemini had.

Overall in this scenario, Gemini provided a more conversational experience, while ChatGPT excelled in offering more creative ideas and functionalities.

Identifying a Spanish Movie

Next, I needed help identifying a Spanish movie that follows a unique plot about a husband mistakenly killing his neighbor. Gemini Live struggled to find a title even after providing additional details like the year and character professions. After a lengthy back-and-forth, it did finally suggest "Loving Adults."

On the other hand, ChatGPT initially struggled as well, providing wrong suggestions before circling back to correctly identify the movie after several clarifications. Ultimately, Gemini delivered results more promptly, but ChatGPT proved to be comprehensive in its approach.

Pulling Information from Google Services

In the third part of the comparison, I tested both AI's abilities to pull information from Google services. Gemini Live has access to extensions like Google Maps and YouTube. However, it faltered significantly when attempting to provide public transportation instructions from Ajon to Dubai Mall.

ChatGPT, while not having direct access to maps, gave a comprehensive answer detailing the fastest route, bus and metro numbers, and timings. This round went clearly to ChatGPT.

Review Summaries

To check the competencies in summarizing video reviews, I asked for a summary of the performance and battery life of the Google Pixel 9 Pro based on MKBHD’s review. Both Gemini Live and ChatGPT provided similar insights regarding performance and battery life. While both got it right, Gemini did not outperform ChatGPT in this category.

Technical Questions

In the final category, I tested both AIs' abilities to solve technical questions involving Excel and a PC issue.

For merging two Excel sheets, both mentioned using features like VLOOKUP. However, ChatGPT provided a wider range of options including INDEX and MATCH, giving it an edge.
I also described an issue with my desktop PC restarting during video editing. While Gemini focused primarily on overheating, ChatGPT covered power supply issues, providing specific apps for monitoring temperatures and appropriately advised upgrading the power supply.

Based on these responses, ChatGPT took the lead, as it effectively addressed the core issue.

Conclusion

Overall, Gemini Live offers a more human-like experience with diverse voice choices; however, it seems somewhat disconnected, lacking proper communication with Google services. In comparison, ChatGPT emerges as the smarter of the two AIs, proving more reliable across a range of tasks.

That concludes my comparison of ChatGPT Plus and Gemini Live. Please share your thoughts in the comments, and thank you for reading!
