I tested ChatGPT Plus vs Gemini Advanced with 7 prompts — here's ...
Two chatbots I frequently use are ChatGPT Plus and Gemini Advanced, so of course I had to put the two cutting-edge, conversational AI to the test to see which one gets the best results. They both excel in different areas, and I use them both daily, but the purpose here is to determine which one shines the brightest overall.
ChatGPT Plus vs Gemini Advanced
ChatGPT typically does better with creative and emphatic tasks while Gemini seems to be the strongest contender for developers and researchers. I needed to know how the paid versions of these chatbots (about $20 per month) compared. Here's what happened when I put the two popular AI heavyweights up against each other with 7 prompts – the results were illuminating.
ChatGPT Plus generally delivers a strong narrative with rich descriptions and suspenseful storytelling. For this prompt, however, the story lacked the depth and detail that I’m used to from the chatbot. For an opening scene, the story lacked a captivating hook, almost feeling like an experimental response rather than something linear and cohesive.
Gemini Advanced surprised me with a robust opening that kept pulling me in. It was full of depth and excitement with descriptions that seemed both natural and believable. Gemini is not usually the better storyteller, but Gemini Advanced did a solid job here.
Winner: Gemini Advanced for its polished, reader-friendly storytelling.
ChatGPT Plus did an excellent job producing accurate and functional code with clear comments, but I noticed a few issues where I would have to do a few minor tweaks if I was going to use the code for a real-world implementation.
Gemini Advanced not only delivered a usable script but included more advanced error-handling features, like retries for failed requests and a full explanation for utilization. The chatbot went above and beyond to ensure that I got everything I needed.
Winner: Gemini Advanced for offering a more robust solution.
ChatGPT Plus offered a schedule similar to Gemini Advanced, factoring in time for self-care and family activities, but it seemed unrealistic in parts and lacked depth and clarification in parts, which made it seem more mechanical.
Gemini Advanced generated an efficient schedule that was slightly more realistic, but offered personalization including ways to multi-task throughout the day and emphasizing self-care.
Winner: Gemini Advanced for its nuanced understanding of being a mom and adding emotional context throughout the schedule.
ChatGPT Plus provided a concise summary with clear comparisons and compelling arguments for renewable energy.
Gemini Advanced delivered a more detailed response, diving into economic and environmental impacts, while also breaking up the text so it was easier to digest.
Winner: Gemini Advanced for adhering to the prompt’s constraints while staying impactful and helpful response.
ChatGPT Plus: Engaged in a dynamic roleplay, offering potential interview questions while also providing tailored answers and actionable tips.
Gemini Advanced: Focused on general advice but with less interaction that would have required follow up prompts. Gemini seems to be more conversational, but this time lacked the conversation.
