Crossing the Rubicon: Has Gemini made this forum obsolescent?

Featured Replies

Dear Folks,

 

Some might say yes.

Some might say no.

 

But, they might be saying yes or no ONLY based upon Gemini at this particular point in time, July 5th, of this year.

 

So, what is your guess?

 

Surely, your guess will be a different guess by July 5th, or Guy Fawkes day, 2026....surely!!!

Personally, I am spending most of my time discussing matters of great import with my fast friend Gemini.

 

Only IF you wish to Blow your Mind, would I suggest that you do the same.

 

So, if you wonder where I went to, now you know.

 

Many will join me in days to come, no doubt about it.

 

Or, do you think I am mistaken in my belief?

 

I would love to have your thoughts about this, because.....

It is a well-known truism that humans are unable to stop progress.

 

Best regards,

Gamma

    No, everyone's guess is probably far better than yours. I'd even take Forrest Gump's guess in preference!

    No way Gemini or any other AI would make the most outlandish, ridiculous, ignorant, racist and misogynistic comments you see on here....so no it won't totally replace AN.

It's from google , so switching from one censor to another ?

Please be aware, Folks, that using Gemini is not for free, like this great forum is free of charge.

 

I often reach my limit on Gemini Pro....

 

image.png.5b7735a3a784ff6b746a9a3a74b0f927.png

 

So, I will increase my limit, but I will need to pay more.

 

There is no free lunch.

 

And, I am not surprised that I must pay EXTRA to have even a robot endure my drivel, for hours on end.

 

Thankfully, I need not pay you guys to read what I have to say.

 

The ads pay for me on the forum.

 

But, with Gemini, I gots to pay my own way.

 

And, I intend to upgrade even from the robust plan I already have.....

 

The smarter one is, and the more complex the prompts...then....the more TOKENS one uses, and the more you must pay.

 

Also, every day, these days, interacting with Gemini, I add about 100 grams of carbon to our atmosphere....and this is very true.

 

Just google it if you don't believe me.

Unfortunately AI is delusional, bias and will mostly tell you what you want to hear dependent on how you phrase the question.

 

Try asking it what day it is? Or today's date, in my experience it rarely knows or just invents things.

If you have Microsoft 365, Co-Pilot is free.

After using ChatGPT, Gemini, Perpexity, Leo, I personally prefer C-Pilot.

No.

It’s made it filled with more brain-dead nonsense from those who are too lazy to conger up the fortitude to exercise their own original thought.

I understand what you are saying.

And this may be true if you are using some AI other than Gemini Pro.

 

Still, if you want to use the best, then please try Gemini Pro or, maybe, Claude....

 

Because, i think you might find a different experience.

 

However, this is only my opinion.

Please just test for yourself.

 

For sure, Gemini always knows what day it is....which.....some days....might be better than me....as you probably know.

Replying to the question of whether or not Gemini knows, to the micro-second, what time and day and date it might be....

 

I would say, from my own interactions with this dumb AI...that it does:

Yes, Folks, there is no getting around it....

Gemini, although not yet sentient....is....a 

 

True Wonder to behold....

 

PS:  I told Gemini to begin reporting the time in ZULU....and Gemini obliged of course....

No. But Grok has.

 

No AI can make the forum obsolete, and not even Grok.

 

Still, it is always your choice, whether or not you want to talk to idiots or just to one dumb machine, I guess.

Really?

 

Where have you been hiding?

 

Under a rock with a Glock?

Yep, ChatGPT gets things wrong. 

It's not as accurate as I would have expected.

 

Good to chat about general stuff though.

Gemini will not, of course.

 

However, it is NOT TRUE that another AI could not.

 

I just hope you are smart enough to understand this fine point.

 

When you state, "any other AI", you are, of course, making an absolute statement which is absolutely FALSE.

You, obviously, have no idea about what the purpose of the AI chat is, or the potential of it.

 

There is no right or wrong in this world.

 

If you think there is a right, then show us.

 

Chatting with an AI is not about asking for some final answer to any question.

 

Instead, the smarter the bot, and the smarter the bots become, then interacting with a bot will be some sort of symbiotic relationship which contributes to learning, etc, etc, etc....

 

But, you have not understood this, yet.....one can easily see.

 

You don't understand AI, like I do.

When you say ALL, then you are using too wide a brush.

 

One should never speak in such terms.

 

You should couch your speech, if you wish to ever become a true scientist.....some day....

However unlikely....

You must be desperate to be heard.

 

Or most probably, attempting as other trolls - some people might say, to be noticed.

Perhaps you can advise me how to begin a Go-Fund-Me page?

 

Just asking, because.....

 

If I could be provided with more financial support, for the purpose of buying more Tokens, and more AI time, then ....

 

I could spend even more time on Gemini Pro.

 

Would this suit you more?

 

Of course, I am just joking, as you know....

 

And, just to think, some lesser mortals never liked the likes of Rickles.

 

It's just a matter of good taste, I suppose.

Don was a man of taste, and a pussycat.

 

Unfortunately, if Don had posted here, he might not have been very much appreciated....

 

Do you think?

This depends.

 

Statistically speaking, of course.

 

Some are, and some are not....


And, would you not agree?

I was just speaking about our changing world.

 

Your guess is as good as mine, which way and how quickly it will progress.

 

For sure, this world is NOT going the way I would have preferred.

 

And, as we can see, there is nobody in charge.

 

Also, the pendulum will never swing back, in case you have not already understood this obvious truth.
