ChatGPT vs Gemini

The prompt: “Create a highly detailed image of a cyborg cat in a futuristic living room.

The cat should be playing on a hovering gaming console while sitting in a floating chair.

The room should have holographic displays, neon lighting, and a mix of metallic and organic elements.

ChatGPT vs Gemini

Make it evening time with city lights visible through a large window.”

Image analysis

For the second prompt, I wanted to test the image analysis capabilities of Gemini and ChatGPT.

Both are exceptionally good at it, so I gave them not just the image but specific instructions.

ChatGPT vs Gemini

I used a picture from a’dream setup' story.

I used the o1 model for this in ChatGPT and the 2.0 Experimental Advanced model in Gemini.

This was one of the more complex prompts, but mainly because the goal was to one-shot the output.

ChatGPT vs Gemini

It should work out of the gate.

I’ve put the code forboth of these games on GitHub.

Include commented code explaining how it works."

Creative writing

It is a known fact AI is good at creative writing.

It was one of the first use cases for ChatGPT when it appeared.

Both were incredibly similar in quality and storytelling capability.

ChatGPT vs Gemini

The prompt: “Write a 500-word story about a smartphone that gains consciousness through a software update.

Problem solving

Once again, I used o1 versus Gemini 2.0 Experimental Advanced for the improved reasoning capabilities.

For the prompt, we’re giving both models a setup and a problem.

ChatGPT vs Gemini

It then has to work out how to fix it.

The full response fromboth are in a Google Doc.

Both broke it down step-by-step with details of how to complete each attempt.

ChatGPT vs Gemini

Room design

For this attempt, I put ChatGPT o1 up against Gemini 1.5 Deep Research.

However, as you might seefrom the Google Doc, ChatGPT o1 more accurately followed the prompt.

AI Education

Finally, the best use for chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini education.

ChatGPT vs Gemini

I shared the fullexplanations in a Google Docbut for me the winner was easily Google Gemini.

Not because ChatGPT was bad but because Gemini went further, including providing details of bias in image data.

Gemini has improved significantly since my last comparison.
