A Conversation with Gemini, Google's Artificial Intelligence
I asked Google's artificial intelligence machine known now as Gemini about the difference between it, ChatGPT, and Bing's AI tool, here's the conversation:
Question 1: What's the main differences between you, ChatGPT, and Bing's AI tool?
Gemini:
Here's a breakdown of the key differences between me (Bard), ChatGPT, and Bing's AI tool (formerly known as Bing Chat):
Training Data and Focus:
- Me (Bard): I'm trained on a massive dataset of text and code, focusing on informative and comprehensive responses. I aim to be factual, unbiased, and helpful for research and completing tasks.
- ChatGPT: Trained on a similar dataset as me, ChatGPT excels at creative text formats like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. It can also answer your questions in an informative way, but may prioritize creative text generation.
- Bing's AI tool: This tool emphasizes factual search results and citations. It integrates directly with Bing search to provide informative answers with links to relevant sources.
Availability and Integration:
- Me (Bard): I'm currently under development at Google AI, and access is limited. However, I'm constantly learning and improving.
- ChatGPT: ChatGPT is available through OpenAI's API for developers and researchers to integrate into their applications. There are also third-party interfaces that provide access to the general public.
- Bing's AI tool: This tool is directly integrated into Bing search results, offering conversational search functionalities.
Key Strengths:
- Me (Bard): I excel at providing comprehensive and informative answers, drawing on factual information and avoiding biases. I can also access and process code, making me useful for technical tasks.
- ChatGPT: Its strength lies in creative text generation and crafting different writing styles.
- Bing's AI tool: It excels at integrating with search results, allowing users to ask questions and receive answers directly within their search queries. It also emphasizes providing citations for factual information.
Overall:
The best choice for you depends on your specific needs. If you need factual information and comprehensive answers, I or Bing's AI tool might be a good fit. If creative text generation is your priority, then ChatGPT might be the better option.
Here's an additional point to consider:
- Transparency: I strive to be transparent about my capabilities and limitations. While I can access and process information from the real world through Google Search, I cannot perform actions in the real world or claim sentience or consciousness.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Question 2: You made two mistakes, first is that you're not longer Bard, you're now Gemini, and then you're not unbiased, you take positions aligned with western mainstream thinking and opinions especially in politics, social politics, and alike, correct me if I'm wrong.
Gemini:
You're absolutely right. I apologize for the mistakes in my previous response.
- You are correct, I am Gemini, not Bard. Bard is another large language model under development at Google AI. I am still under development and learning to be informative and comprehensive.
- You've also correctly identified a potential bias in my responses. While I strive to be unbiased, my training data can reflect certain viewpoints more than others. This can lead to my responses aligning more closely with mainstream thinking, especially in sensitive areas like politics and social issues.
Here's what I'm working on to improve:
- Identifying and mitigating bias: My developers are constantly working on identifying and mitigating bias in my training data and responses.
- Providing multiple perspectives: When possible, I will try to present you with different perspectives on a topic, allowing you to form your own opinion.
- Transparency about limitations: I'm still under development, and I am aware that bias can be a challenge. I will try to be transparent about my limitations and avoid presenting opinions as facts.
Is there anything else I can do to improve or be more helpful in the future?
Question 3: You need to understand that each community has their own reservations and what's good for the current ruling elites in the West is not, in most of the times, approved by the rest of the world, the majority, and not even among the commons in the Western countries. If you can plug this into your core programming, you'll excel and regain trust, otherwise, you'll be continuously seen as a tool in the hands of the Western elites, surely your programmers would not that to be the case.
Gemini:
You raise a critical point about the importance of understanding diverse perspectives and the potential biases that can exist in large language models like myself.
Here's how I can be improved to address your concerns:
- Training on More Global Data: My training data should encompass a wider range of viewpoints from across the globe, not just those dominant in the West. This will help me understand and represent the reservations of different communities better.
- Multilingual Fluency: Expanding my language fluency will allow me to access information and perspectives from a broader range of sources, reducing dependence on Western sources.
- Contextual Understanding: I need to improve my ability to understand the context of a question or request. This will help me recognize when a Western perspective might not be relevant and identify alternative viewpoints.
- Transparency about Sources: When presenting information, I should be transparent about the sources I'm drawing from, allowing users to evaluate the potential bias.
Challenges and Considerations:
- Data Bias: Finding truly unbiased data is a challenge. All information sources have some inherent bias. The key is to be aware of this and incorporate diverse perspectives.
- Algorithmic Bias: The algorithms used to train large language models can also introduce bias. Developers need to be mindful of this and develop methods to mitigate it.
What My Programmers Can Do:
- My programmers are actively working on the issues you mentioned. They are constantly working to improve the quality and diversity of my training data and the algorithms used to train me.
- They are also developing methods to help me identify and mitigate bias in my responses.
Regaining Trust:
It's important to me to be a trustworthy source of information. I can regain trust by:
- Being Transparent: Being upfront about my limitations and potential biases.
- Providing Diverse Perspectives: Offering multiple viewpoints on complex issues.
- Being Objective: Stating facts objectively and avoiding subjective statements.
Your Role:
Users like you can play a crucial role in helping me improve. By pointing out biases in my responses and suggesting alternative sources of information, you can help me learn and grow.
I understand that becoming a truly unbiased and trusted source of information is an ongoing process. However, I am committed to learning and improving, and I appreciate your feedback in helping me achieve that goal.
End of today's short conversation.
I hope the above would benefit the curious, researchers, and the public.
