Bard Gamini Bard Bard Advanced AI Ultra Gemini Premium ProMax!
Seriously. How are they this bad at naming things?
They let the AI name itself.
They're giving the USB-IF a run for terrible naming schemes.
I guess I’m not a marketing guy, but why is it a good idea to discard the Bard brand that has at least some name recognition at this point, and replace it with Gemini, which is an arbitrary name. It’s not like they decided, “hey, not enough people know what Bard is, so let’s call it Google AI”. Gemini is just different, not better.
And the advanced vs Pro vs Ultra thing is silly as well. Just tell me which one I have to pay for. Something like Gemini and Gemini Pro would be more obvious to the layman.
Like I said, I’m not a marketing genius, so I’m sure I’m being naive. It just doesn’t seem like an improvement, and it causes brand confusion. At least to me.
Don't worry, it'll be dead or renamed within a year.
Why rename it after two people or twins, like “Gemini”? Makes it feel like you never know what kind of answer you’re going to get.
Bard did not have a great launch since it was rushed out. I'm not surprised Google is renaming it, even if it wasn't Google we're talking about.
Out of 1,059 reviews, it's at a 3.1 right now. No reviews in English, or I just can't see any of them for some reason....
I've played around with Gemini on my Pixel and... It's not all that helpful.
It can't integrate with any other service like calendars, Home, or emails. It asks followup questions, but doesn't turn the mic back on so you can respond. It's not even particularly good for search because it's so verbose.
Oh and it doesn't automatically reply by speaking. You have to press a mic button to get it to talk.
Overall, a half-baked product and not a replacement for the already knee capped Assistant.
