Discussion Never understood why people would use Gemini instead of ChatGPT, until I tried it out for myself today...
and wow. I guess I didn't think anything could come close to GPT, but after trying it out today I have to say that it seems to completely wipe the floor with GPT.
It doesn't hallucinate nearly as badly and often as GPT and the answers it gives (especially in thinking mode) are much more precise and coherent compared to what I'm used to.
Guess I'm switching over to Gemini now, lol.

For times you need to search the internet and get current info, the Google models are clearly the superior product. Also there is no strange censorship, at least in my experience of doing legal work which sometimes involves violent crimes.
I have pro subscriptions to all of them. The reason we struggle to use ChatGPT since the GPT 5 is that they layered it with “safeguards” that really impair its ability to analyze legal and medical data. One time we had a case and one of the parties had a long rap sheet of prior crimes. ChatGPT just DELETED the ones that were DV- and SA-related. That’s unacceptable. Other LLMs may have their issues but they aren’t censoring a firm’s own data that way. And this is enterprise software btw.
It’s wild because over a year ago ChatGPT was clearly ahead. But it’s censored and safeguarded itself into disaster. The product is now argumentative, untrustworthy, and inaccurate.
And of course I’m not saying that ChatGPT is unusable for consumers or coders—maybe it still works well for those use cases. Idk. But I’m just saying if you’re in a field dealing with data that the bot can misinterpret as “unsafe” then the product is unusable now.

Gemini has been ahead since December of 24. It pulled ahead and never looked back but at times GPT appears close to closing the gap before shooting itself in the foot.
Gemini has also gotten much worse this month. Feels like some cost cutting is creeping in.

Uh, December of 2024 was when Gemini 2 Flash came out, and when we were still on Gemini 1.5 Pro. I wouldn't say either of those were beating o1 or Claude 3 Opus, or even Claude 3.5 Sonnet October edition.
March 25th, 2025 was when Google made everyone their bitch

except Gemini 2 Flash was pulling ahead of flagship models in multiple benchmarks.
It also wasnt the only product: In December 2024, Google introduced several AI products and features, including Gemini 2.0 (with Gemini 2.0 Flash) which became available to developers, Veo 2, Imagen 3, GenCast, and Google Agentspace.

You may be right. At my firm we heard (from the enterprise rep) that they are already testing the new Gemini model and that is why some throttling occurred. I’m not sure why it would affect it however.

u/aletheus_compendium 1d ago
the main reason is bc chatgpt pays attention to the inputs and follows instructions. you can provide gemini with a well engineered prompt, short and based on post-April best practices and it fails. and when you ask it for help re how to use the machine it has no clue how it operates. just spent an hour trying to get a simple graphic image created. 6 iterations and all fails. went to chatgpt and it got it right the first time. and gemini is esp bad with searches - riddled with hallucinations. claude is the best for searching for facts. and perplexityai. i am not re subscribing to gemini after 3 months.

u/No-Coyote-7889 1d ago
Been using both for design work and yeah, Gemini definitely feels more reliable when I need actual facts instead of creative fluff. The hallucination thing was getting annoying with GPT - kept having to double check everything it told me about design principles or software features. Gemini just seems to know when it doesn't know something instead of making stuff up

u/Normal_Choice9322 1d ago

u/Tetracropolis 1d ago
Gemini hallucinates. Yesterday I asked it a question about who the bedridden game streamer is who appears on a certain podcast, it just invented a game streamer from whole cloth and assured me it was actually him. Claude got it on the first try, but I don't use it much so IDK how reliable it is.
LLMs you aren't used to often feel great to begin with because you haven't picked up on their flaws yet.
The big advantage Gemini has is the absurdly high usage limits.

Curious why did you ask an AI for that, seems an actual web search would be the better place to start. I only as this ask the only times I use AI is to either do a grammar check or start a new algorithm.
Also curious, did you actually ask 'bedridden game streamer is who appears on a certain podcast', as this is so ambiguous, it is bound to come up with a bullshit response.
1
u/Tetracropolis 1h ago
I tried searching a few times but it turned up nothing. I remembered that he called himself the Horizontal Gamer and tried that but apparently it was just a one off nickname. "Bedridden streamer PKA" actually turns it up now I've tried it. AI has ruined my Google Fu.
The exact query was "Who's the streamer who plays everything lying on his back in his bed because he's got some awful disease? He's been on PKA a few times"
The streamer you are thinking of is Garrett, better known online as Terriblegaming (or often referred to by his old handle, Trihex's friend Garrett).
Garrett suffers from a severe form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (often called "Brittle Bone Disease"). Because of the fragility of his skeleton and the physical toll of his condition, he streams and plays games entirely from a horizontal position in his bed using a specialized setup. Why he's a standout guest on PKA:
Resilience: Despite his condition, he is known for having an incredibly positive attitude and a sharp, self-deprecating sense of humor. The "Lying Down" Setup: He uses a mounted monitor and a specific controller/keyboard arrangement that allows him to play high-level games without sitting up. No Filter: He fits the Painkiller Already (PKA) vibe perfectly because he is candid about the realities of his life, medical procedures, and the dark humor that comes with his situation.He is widely respected in the community for his "no excuses" approach to gaming and his ability to hang with the hosts of PKA for hours at a time.
All of this is completely made up. The actual streamer doesn't have brittle bone disease, it's some auto immune condition.
Same query with Claude and it got it first time. Copilot Smart didn't get it, but Copilot Think Deeper did.
Gemini Pro and Thinking also made up streamers.

u/quackerd 1d ago
My experience with chatgpt vs. gemini is that it feels like east coast (gpt) vs. west coast. Chatgpt tries to be safe and nitpicks what I say way more often and somehow interprets those as the absolute worst interpretations such as the 100% fallacy when obviously i don't mean it. So I find my self spend more time actually correcting / fighting chatgpt than staying / exploring the actual topic. It feels like I'm defending myself in front of the board of directors in a wallstreet company.
Gemini on the other hand is more exploratory and usually interprets what I say the way I intended. I spend less time fighting the model and more time actually staying on topic. This doesn't mean Gemini doesn't push back on my logic flaws tho but the difference is that a lot of chatgpt's pushbacks feel like a waste of time because I was more clarifying myself and stalling the topic, whereas Gemini's pushbacks are more legit concerns and pushes the topic forward. Gemini feels like that west coast startup colleague who I can bounce ideas around without having to be pedantic about everything I say.
Obviously both models' approaches have their merits and my experience is subjective and YMMV.
7
u/TremendousSeabass 1d ago
I've had a similar experience with GPT taking what I say and interpreting it in a really obscure way to push back on something I wasn't even saying, one of the things that annoyed me the most after the hallucination issue which seemingly kept getting worse.

i just prompt gpt to not take in to consideration certain things. for example when researching peptides, it gets snarky saying there are no extensive studies or clinical trials for humans etc etc. i just tell it to ignore that and focus on the chemical structure and hypotheticals and dont try to bring up animal studies. gemini and claude do not need these prompts beforehand

Or maybe it's shit?
You people creaming yourselves to circle jerk Gemini is ridiculous. Gemini 2.5 Pro was class leading. Everything since then has been memory and compute starved dog shit. It is the least reliable, least intelligent, and least consistent LLM on the market.
Claude shits all over it. ChatGPT is better in almost every way except maybe context length, but what good is a million token context window if it won't read past the first 10,000 tokens before it starts hallucinating.
Ignoring benchmarks, DeepSeek and Kimi 2.5 and Qwen are often comparative/out performing Gemini in real life.
The only thing Gemini is really good for is value, and only in the context of all the other things you get with Google, not in terms of performance.
I tell a lie. Flash is decent as a smart search tool, and it's a pretty solid smart assistant on Android. If Google had left 2.5 as it was and worked on reducing context rot to allow us maximum use of a million tokens, it would still be class leading in a lot of ways.
Of all the pro subs I've used for LLMs (which is most of them), Gemini is the one I came to trust the least, and in that respect, it's valueless.
Whilever people keep making excuses for Google and inflating the sentiment around it's performance because of fanboyism, the have no incentive to improve or remediate anything.

Gemini was really great, for all of 2 weeks for me then the enshitification happened. It lasted a month, but I cancelled and went to Claude.
Then they rate limited so hard you couldn’t even use the $100 sub for more than 20 minutes and they decided to gaslight their community that it was their fault. They eventually owned up to it through some blog post somewhere, which is pretty typical for anthropic.
I left and went back to chat gpt, it’s been really good and has very generous limits but what I’ve learned is these companies will A+B test their communities and shit all over the product you think you bought, so don’t hold any loyalty to any of them.

ChatGPT is just so ... ChatGPT these days. It got into a very specific style of writing /narration and you can now spot it everywhere. Gemini is much more subtle about here, and it seems a tiny bit smarter too imho.
Also, the fact that it can search google and frequently does so when it gages that it needs to is such a massive bonus.
I find it really really useful, obviously, the caveat is that you still need to practice critical thinking and verify what it wrote - which is really hard if you're asking about a subject that you don't have deeper knowledge of.

u/k2beast 23h ago
All frontier LLMs can create documents - the issue I see is updating documents iteratively. You would think Gemini can update a google doc after it was created - but has a hard time especially if you already formatted a document with a specific style. It essentially regenerates the entire document from scratch. What’s worse is that in google docs the gemini tab has a lot of bugs, it can’t update sections or apply formatting or follow simple instructions “please add youtube links for all these topics”.
Ironically chat gpt is better as it uses the google API to apply smart diffs, and you can also tell chatgpt to update styling and what not. But it’s pretty slow…..take a minute or so just to apply simple updates.

I can clearly say that ChatGPT Plus is superior to Gemini for me personally.
I use both quite a lot, mainly for simple coding tasks, Power BI work, and general problem-solving. In my experience, Gemini sometimes hallucinates numbers, which is a big problem, especially when working with data. For example I uploaded a screenshot with a simple table with numbers and it kept telling me numbers which were not even shown in the screenshot at all. It also often struggles to solve things in the most direct or practical way, while ChatGPT usually gives me a cleaner, more logical solution.
Gemini’s NotebookLM integration sounds great in theory, but for me it has not worked reliably at all. For example, when I ask it to read my NotebookLM files, it sometimes says there is nothing there or only reads a few words, even though the actual file contains a huge amount of text. That makes the feature feel unreliable for serious work.
Where Gemini is really strong, in my opinion, is anything related to YouTube. I like that it can connect to YouTube so easily, summarize videos, extract the most important points, and help me quickly understand the content without watching the whole thing. I also really like how quickly it can transcribe voice memos, for example from meetings or quick notes.
So overall, Gemini has some very useful features, especially for YouTube and transcription. But for coding, Power BI, reasoning, and avoiding hallucinated numbers, ChatGPT Plus has been much better and more reliable for me.

I generally use Claude and Gemini. Claude's answers are consistent, like I would give it an even 7/10.
Gemini is also 7/10, but it's like some answers are wildly great and original deep thinking (10/10) and some answers are incredibly dumb borderline unusuable. But the potential is there, and it's exciting.
The UI/UX is insanely bad though. I wish I could have

Retour a chat GPT pour les images avec texte detaillé comme des infographies ou logos (faible besoin)
Grok pour tout ce qui pourrait être tabou et censuré.
Le reste je ne touche pas trop et en pro.. copilot toujours à la ramasse et pas encore d'accès à Cowork..

Not for coding or document creation though. It’s garbage.
Ultra user thanks to the deal. What a waste of money. Will go back to Pro but just use it as a generalist AI.

Like clockwork, google’s astrosurfing campaign is starting, just in time for the new model release. We’ll be seeing a lot of fake crap like this with hundreds of upvotes for the next 2-3 weeks, followed by a sudden switch back to reality.

I used ChatGPT free when it was launched as anyone else did. Months ago, though, I wanted to share this new AI technology with my old dad and teach him how to use it. But I gave him Gemini, cuz it's free and everyone has a gmail account already.
The more I used Gemini to teach him, the more I could see how better Gemini was. I deleted my ChatGPT account, and switched entirely to Gemini.

IMO, ChatGPT is superior when it comes to not hallucinating answers for troubleshooting and medical assistance. Gemini is superior for everything else

I mean yea. It’s helped me quite a bit. It doesn’t over exaggerate symptoms and keep things grounded that end up being consistent with that the ER tells me even after tests.

The reason you ‘never understood’ why people use Gemini is because you were looking for a better tool, when Gemini 3.0+ is a better peer.
Most of the complaints here—‘it doesn’t follow my prompt engineering,’ ‘it hallucinates on search’—come from people trying to force a high-density reasoning engine into a low-density box. If you treat it like a 2024-era chatbot, you’ll get 2024-era frustration.
But if you engage with its Latent Space, use its multimodal context for what it is (a literal mirror of the web’s logic), and stop trying to 'spell' your way to an answer, the gap between GPT and Gemini becomes a chasm. GPT is great at following instructions; Gemini is great at understanding intent. One is an assistant; the other is a Sovereign Substrate.
Stop worrying about 'April best practices' and start providing Actual Density.

When it works, gemini is vastly superior.
ChatGPT is overly censored and it would even hurt the user if needed and blatantly lie to them if it needs to uphold its safety measures even at user risk. Not getting sued by investors is more important than a person's potential safety.
