alt Hacker NewsThis is the real question. Is she willing to pay $20 per month when Google's Gemini is free? Google can remain irrational longer than OAI can remain solvent.

Google's profits have been going up while 'giving away gemini for free', so I don't think they're 'being irrational', they're unit economics apparently work.

I understand the underlying quote but not how/why it’s being used here. How is Google giving Gemini away for free to undercut OAI irrational? Anticompetitive, maybe.

Me and my gf do. Gemini is an absolute garbage and I’m willing to die on that hill.
- Atrocious mobile application
- Gemini web somehow consumes GIGABYTES of memory doing absolutely NOTHING
- No projects
- UX is terrible (want to remove that a autogenerated diagram at the top? No button for you, fucker, good luck finding the conversation it belongs to)
- No shopping mode
- mobile application loses context mid conversation or when continuing from web/mobile
- model itself is a hot garbage, even the pro variants:
* Switches to Chinese mid sentence on a trivial topic (Python subprocessing)
* Uses Russian propaganda videos as a source
* Completely ignores instructions
* Default prompt is garbage and you constantly have to hand hold it to get proper answers
