I still prefer GPT for conversational AI and image generation.

Anthropic Claude is more of a tool to actually do something. Where GPT will get you the info you need, Anthropic Claude is much better suited to building something into your application. If I want to build a …
Chose Anthropic Claude
Anthropic Claude is just as good as any of the aforementioned platforms. We were using ChatGPT primarily before Claude. We have leaned more to Claude in recent months, but use other solutions to keep a balanced approach to research and analysis. We plan to keep Claude as a …

Gemini can fix its hallucination and generic output problem to get at part with Perplexity. Additionally, to beat in web search, it can produce citation after every information given. By this it can gain users trust. Sometimes, it doesn't give output only. such instances can be …
Chose Google Gemini
Google is free and included in my workspace subscription. Claude has no image generation. Google Gemini is also a Google product, so I assume it will be able to have a better understanding of the areas on Google I am trying to market. Overall, I think it's better than Claude, …

Google Gemini has the best context window in the market, the parameters are incredible and the speed is fantastic. It will lose for ChatGPT by seniority. It has the same tools now and the integration with the Google environment makes adding AI to any project, seamless. It is …

Best at productivity based tasks that I encounter in the workplace. I spend about 20% of my time developing, and a majority of it doing overhead or operational tasks. Google Gemini is the best for analyzing spreadsheets, performing forecasting tasks, etc. If I was more …

If you have a sprawling legacy codebase without human subject matter expertise, Claude can be a decent option to get you through some bug triage. However, if you have a legacy codebase and no SMEs, you have bigger problems than bugs. LLMs are known for their uncanny abilities to trick a certain type of user into believing they have created something beautiful and useful, and this undercurrent of delusion runs strong through Claude.

Gemini is fantastic for receiving quick answers to questions where accuracy is not paramount. It is great for brainstorming ideas. It is also fantastic for analysing large swathes of unformatted data and finding correlations. Gemini can also transcribe handwriting and audio files making it excellent for formative assessment. It can also now create Google Slides which is great for lesson planning. Gemini is only as good as the prompts you provide it with though so you must remember to be exact with your prompts to get the best outputs.

  • Faces in generated images can be kind of scary looking, deformed.
  • When asking for specific text in an image, it often generates funky randomly spelled text instead.
  • Tried a bulk image search with uploaded png files to find the same images online and the links it provided were 404 errors instead.

It's pretty convenient. The interface is clear and straightforward, with no unnecessary complexity. The section covering pricing tariffs and usage limits is easy to understand.

It's standard usability interface - no problems or challenges using it. I do prefer Claude still because of the different options/modes you can toggle on and off. I don't think Gemini has those options. It's a great daily companion for quick problem solving but not great for larger projects or conversations

If I want to build a spreadsheet or if I want to turn a website into a PowerPoint presentation. I do it on Anthropic Claude.
