Just because it shows up does not mean it is being used. I only click the feedback button to tell them how much I dislike their Ai summaries. They have removed that feedback button this week. Can't take the heat I suppose.

I've also never know anyone who finds them trustworthy nor heard someone say anything besides how they also dislike them

A lot of my friends will say "Well, the google AI says this" so they're using it, and maybe they don't trust the answers, but I think the thing is that they're using it.

"It's AI but anyway", seems to be a way to use it, but not promote that your using it?

There's a significant amount of people in my friend group who don't like "AI", but everyone seems to use what google's doing, even if they add the "the AI said this" disclaimer to it.

Even the people who don't like 'AI', will still reference the LLM output, which seems like they're just slow to accept it, I guess.

It’s so annoying that everyone just points to the Artificial Analysis index (or even worse, Epoch AI, where part of the score is how good the AI is at chess) as a proxy for “how good” the model is.

At least AA have a dedicated speech model index, of which this is now the leader: https://artificialanalysis.ai/speech-to-speech

Most people talking about Gemini quality do so by experience.

sounds vibes and bias laden

what's your solution? force people to use gemini until they like it? or hire them as googlers?
reply
my approach is to not use closed weight models, I'm not trying to solve for how to get people to use gemini, quite the opposite actually

Its 200-300 TPS. GPT is at 50-60. And its like 5% worse? Yeah that is a good tradeoff.

Are you watching/waiting on your agents? I care zero about t/sec, quality is far more important that quantity or latency, but they run in the background and I check in from time to time
