Quick takeaways
Google launched Gemini Gems, enabling users to create customized AI models easily, significantly boosting productivity through real-time adjustments.
Despite its innovative features, Google Gems face challenges in user experience and instruction-following compared to ChatGPT's more intuitive Custom GPTs.
Deep dives
Introduction of Google Gems
Google has introduced Google Gems, a customizable and smaller version of its language model, Gemini. This feature allows users to create personalized AI models based on specific data and tasks, making it easier for anyone, regardless of coding experience, to optimize their interactions with AI. Gems can be constructed in real-time through simple prompts, enabling users to tailor the AI's responses to their specific needs. Users with a paid account can access this feature and create multiple gems quickly, enhancing their productivity.
Updates in AI News
Recent developments in the AI sector include Nvidia's surprising stock drop despite strong earnings, highlighting investor sentiment's impact on technology stocks. Additionally, several major publishers have opted out of Apple's AI training data collection using Apple Bot Extended, indicating a significant shift in digital rights management. This allows content creators to control their data while still remaining discoverable online. Furthermore, OpenAI is reportedly negotiating a funding round that could elevate its valuation beyond $100 billion, showing the rising interest in AI technologies.
Creating and Using Google Gems
Creating Google Gems involves a straightforward process where users can name their gem and input specific instructions. However, building them requires a paid account, which complicates access for some users. The interaction model differs from other AI platforms, as users must input instructions without the benefit of a conversational build process. This limitation may hinder beginners who are accustomed to more intuitive frameworks in competing products, making the learning curve steeper.
Comparison with ChatGPT's Custom GPTs
Google Gems struggle to compete with ChatGPT's Custom GPTs, especially in instruction following and user-friendly design. While Gems can access live documents from Google services, their ability to accurately follow detailed instructions and retrieve relevant data remains inconsistent. ChatGPT allows for the creation of multiple interconnected GPTs and provides easier sharing options, making it more flexible for users working in collaborative environments. Overall, Google Gems currently lack the essential features and ease of use that have made ChatGPT so popular, potentially limiting their effectiveness.
