I tested Gemini vs ChatGPT on the iPhone with 7 prompts — here's ...
The chatbots have gone mobile. With the release of Google’s standalone Gemini app on iPhone, I couldn’t help but wonder how it compares to ChatGPT on iPhone. To determine which AI assistant delivers the better experience, I tested both apps using seven prompts designed to assess their conversational skills, creativity, productivity and more. Here's how they compare.
Prompt: "If I were to travel to Tokyo, could you recommend a few attractions for a first-time visitor? Also, please explore food options."
Gemini impressed me with detailed suggestions, highlighting lesser-known attractions and diverse food options, accompanied by images. On the other hand, ChatGPT provided more general recommendations without visuals. Winner: Gemini, for its visuals and depth.
Prompt: "Schedule a meeting with two friends for lunch this Saturday at noon and draft a friendly email invitation."
Gemini: Handled the scheduling task perfectly, drafted a polite email, and offered to send it immediately. ChatGPT, while crafting a well-worded email, missed the scheduling aspect and lacked integration options. Winner: Gemini for its comprehensive assistance.
Prompt: "Write a short, whimsical story about a lost robot who befriends a stray dog in the city."
Gemini's story was charming but lacked depth, while ChatGPT spun a detailed and engaging narrative. Winner: ChatGPT for its creative depth and storytelling ability.
Prompt: "Explain the concept of quantum entanglement in simple terms for someone with no physics background."
Gemini provided an easy-to-understand explanation with analogies and key highlights, tailored for beginners. ChatGPT also delivered a clear explanation but with more technical language. Winner: Gemini for its intuitive teaching style.
