GeminiAdvanced 4-free after upgrading Drive Storage:What's it good for? Nothing/Something?

[GammaGlobulin]

Dear Folks,

 

So far, I am not sure what Gemini might be good for.

Does anybody know what time it is?

 

Here's what I'm talking about:

 

According to Google-One Drive-Storage Plans, anytime you subscribe to at least 5 TBytes of storage, then Google-One will kick-in this Gemini ADVANCED package.

But what is it GOOD for, anyway?

Why should one care if one has Gemini-Advanced, or NOT?

i REALLY have no idea.

Do you?

 

Here is my plan, so far, on one of my accounts:

 

I have had Gemini-Advanced, already, for about the past four hours...and yet.....

I feel just the same as I did this morning.

The world, my world, is no different than it was....yesterday.

 

I WILL say, though, that I am happy to have this extra storage that I am paying for, via a monthly subscription....one which I think is extremely cheap and cost effective.

I love Google Drive and Google One.

(It's only the transmorgification of Google SEARCH that I find detestable, these days. And not Google, as a whole.  The Google Tools, such as Google Docs, Sheets, and much more, are a veritable blessing for me, and I am grateful as HECK....believe me...!!!!)

 

Still, I feel rather unsettled this evening by having been given, for free by Google, this Gemini-Advanced function on my Google One, while also realizing that I know not what benefit it might be to somebody like me.

 

Can anyone please clarify for me why I should be super-pleased to have received this free gift of Gemini, today, and for the future?

 

Will it make me money, for example?

Will it make me even MORE intelligent?

 

Here, on Google Search....I find that.....

 

Gemini might be able to help members of TV with their RANTS!!!!!

 

 

So, maybe this might be good for some TV members, but not for me.

 

Any good pertinent ideas you can add?

 

Thank you.

 

I am worried that I have received a new free gift, yet lack the intelligence to know how to use this intelligence.

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

Better AN rants are at the very top of my list of priorities.  Now, I can sign with relief.

OK.

Best to leave the RANTING to you, I guess....

With the help of Gemini, of course.

Earlier today I had the sudden urge to refresh my understanding of electron orbits.  My Google search results were preceded by a couple of  AI generated paragraphs summarizing the basic facts about the topic.  It was brief but concise with just the amount of detail I was seeking.  Maybe those paragraphs were composed by Gemini.  A lot of the AI content was plagiarized from other websites.

Well....sorry to burst your bubble...but....

Electrons do not travel in "orbits".

Is this what Gemini told you?

 

If so...then.....

WRONG

WRONG

From Britannica encylopedia:

 

Unlike planets orbiting the Sun, electrons cannot be at any arbitrary distance from the nucleus; they can exist only in certain specific locations called allowed orbits.

 

The electron positions are still called orbits despite not bearing much resemblance to the lay understanding of the term.

 

I'm referring to the 1P, 2P - 2S, 3P - 3S, etc.

They are not ORBITS.

They are just at different energy levels, of course.

When an electron changes from one energy level to another energy level....then....

A PHUCKING PHOTON is emitted.

 

This is what I learned back in 1967, when I was in 9th grade.

And, this is what kids learn, today, in 7th grade.

 

Anyway, here is what Gemini has to say about all this:

 

 

Yet, this is still not completely correct.

 

It's just based on the PARTICLE MODEL, as you know.

 

 

Note:  Seems Gemini backs me up on my 9th-Grade understanding of the Boring Bohr Model....

 

 

NOTE:  Whatever you ask Gemini, then Gemini always agrees with you....HAHAHAHA....What a JOKE!

I was in the same grade that year.  I don't recall learning that level of detail in that grade.  I think I learned it later.  In the 57 years since, many details of my life have turned to whispers I can only sometimes hear.

This word, "plagiarized", is really not appropriate in the context of an AI assembling a reply to a query.

The older we get, the more whispers we seem to hear.

And, we can never know just how accurate they might be.

Sometimes I classify them as only rumours instead of memories.

Yes.

 

Also, back to the original Topic, if I may....

 

Do you believe that this Free Gift-Horse, from Google-One, namely Gemini-Advanced, is of any value?

 

If so, the what is the value of it.

 

How can one use it with Gmail, Docs, Sheets, etc., to improve the effectiveness of these tools?

 

=====

What I would like to see is some Gemini-based Function which would help me to find what I am looking for, among my millions of emails, and spreadsheet Sheet data...not to mention help with finding the photos I sometimes need to find, such as ones that help me to support my claims for refunds after buying garbage products in this New World of disposable comsumer goods, including White Goods.....etc.....

 

Also, can Gemini help me to restore my very old photos to...."like-new" quality, using some AI wizardry?

 

Or, WHAT per se, is Gemini good for....for me, personally?

 

This is the question of this Useless Topic, I guess.

 

Or, is this Topic really useless?

Maybe, ask Gemini, and not Gamma?

Just due to my idle curiosity.....

 

Where did you attend school....meaning which country and were you at a public/private school?

I attended an all-boys school.,,,

And loved it.

 

What about you?

 

You and I are about the same age.

 

I would like to think that you and I might be kindred spirits, of the type that have never forgotten the time when the importance of the Natural Sciences, when Science was seen as something both important and mysterious, was obvious, as we all watched Sputnik take over....and change our world.

 

 

I clearly recall Sputnik flying overhead when I was young enough to have better eyesight.

 

Those were the days when it was OK and encouraged to be interested in Pure Science, rather than.....High-Tech...without the Science, which is the case...today....

Maybe.

 

 

 

 

[GammaGlobulin]

On my first attempt to use Gemini "Advanced", this puny AI failed me....Big Time...

 

I issued my first command, as follows:

 

Please generate an image of....

 

"HANDSOME YOUNG MAN of 17-yo riding Honda CB450 in the dead of night along unlit narrow roads, lined with overhanging trees, on Martha's Vineyard in the year 1970, with cool, almost cold, summer wind hitting him in the face"

Also, I need the image to have a slightly Clockwork-Orange flavor

 

 

 

The above is all I got from Gemini.

 

Gemini-Advanced is just a free GIFT-WITH PURCHASE, when you subscribe to Google One.

Nobody expected very much.

And, if it's free...then....

Why would they?

 

Can your AI do better than Gemini, at generating this image from text:

 

"HANDSOME YOUNG MAN of 17-yo riding Honda CB450 in the dead of night along unlit narrow roads, lined with overhanging trees, on Martha's Vineyard in the year 1970, with cool, almost cold, summer wind hitting him in the face...

Also, I need the image to have a slightly Clockwork-Orange flavor"

 

 

Have a go.

Only I know what the image was really like, back in 1970, on Martha's Vineyard.....

 

 

 

[GammaGlobulin]

So then, concerning the usefulness of Gemini-Advanced.....for somebody like me....

One with a fertile imagination better than that of Gemini's puny imagination....

I would say that it is not worth upgrading to 5 TBytes of storage....just to...get....

Gemini-Advanced.

 

Instead, just upgrade to 5-TBytes of storage because.....

Having that much storage, or more....is COOL.....

In itself.

 

Also, IMHO....you should go for the 50 TByte plan....or, more realistically....

The 10-TByte plan, which I think is enough for some.

 

In total, I have 20 TBytes on separate plans.

And, this is just barely enough for me.

 

BUT, then back to Gemini-Advanced.

I still do not know what it might be used for, so far....that might be useful.

 

Originally, I had asked Gemini to show me an image of a handsome young man riding a motorcycle along a narrow road in Martha's Vineyard, a dark unlit road, such as one recalls from A Clockwork Orange.  The cool/cold air of summer hitting the rider in the face, at 3AM, as I remember well.

 

Unfortunately, Gemini, which is anything but human, cannot generate an image based on a Martha's Vineyard of 1970, about which it has almost zero data 

Only HUMANS who have been there and done that can imagine what it was really like.

 

Speaking of humans:

 

Most humans are able to easily picture in their mind the juxtaposition of a Tom Cruise on a fast-bike, cruising at 3AM, on very narrow roads, with trees overhanging, and the smell of vegetation strong in the nostrils, helmet-less, and at very high speed, and crazy with delight.

 

All you need do is think of this song, and this vid, and then you got it in less than a second.

Gemini, by comparison is still brain-dead.....
