Substantive content analysis could be a challenge for Gemini 1.5 Pro because, while its long context understanding capability gives it the ability to deduce context and simplify abstractions, it does involve using a lot of tokens.

Gemini Pro 1.5 does have what it takes to elevate generativeness; but it's obvious limitations can't certainly be ignored.

Everyone, under and above the rocks, has been talking about generative AI vs. cognitive AI. But once again, OpenAI slamdunks all the hot debates with its blockbuster announcement that ChatGPT is all set to be equipped with the functionality of memory.

The premise is simple: it will now remember and recall your conversations and prompts, learning your patterns, preferences, habits, and tendencies.

But don't worry—OpenAI has no interest in becoming an alogorthmic tyrant! You'll have full authority and control over it, meaning you can simply turn it off whenever you want!

But the promise it holds, with regards to cognitive possibilities, can't be ignored! In fact, in my eyes, the age of autonomous bionics would probably dawn earlier than everyone expected. And that's very exciting and a tiny bit scary!

AI is an umbrella term for a set of related technologies. Some of those technologies have made genuine, remarkable, widely-publicized progress. Companies exploit public confusion, slap the “AI” label on whatever they’re selling.

The presence of a significant amount of AI "snake oil" can be attributed to several factors:

Hype and Misunderstanding: AI and its various subfields, such as machine learning and deep learning, have received a great deal of media attention and hype due to their potential to revolutionize industries. .

Complexity of Technology: AI technologies can be complex and difficult to understand for individuals without a technical background. This makes it easier for companies to make exaggerated claims about their products' capabilities,

Lack of Regulation and Standards: The field of AI is relatively new and rapidly evolving, which means that regulatory bodies and industry standards have not caught up with the pace of innovation.

Desire for Investment and Funding: Startups and companies looking for funding often need to present a compelling case to investors. By framing their products as AI-powered, they might attract more attention and funding, even if the AI component is minor or unproven.

Competitive Pressure: In a competitive market, companies are under pressure to differentiate their products and services. Adding the "AI" label can give them a perceived edge over their competitors, even if the AI aspect is minimal.

Confirmation Bias: People tend to believe in technologies that promise to solve their problems or improve their lives. Companies that offer AI solutions capitalize on this desire by presenting their products as cutting-edge, AI-driven solutions.

Overenthusiastic Marketing: Marketing teams often want to highlight the most appealing aspects of a product, sometimes stretching the truth to make a stronger impact.
