ChatGPT Versus Gemini: Which One Comes On Top???

 


I have been writing about AI a lot lately, especially when it comes to Generative AI.  In fact, I am authoring an entire book on the subject matter.  But somehow or another, we tend to think that ChatGPT is the only Gen AI tool that is out there for the consumer.  However, this is far from the truth.  There are many others, and one that is starting to gain some attention is from Google, which is called “Gemini”.  This was actually formerly known as “Bard”.

Interestingly enough, I came across an article this morning which compares the two in a side-by-side matchup.  So here we go:

1)      The creation of diagrams:

If you are a technically oriented person like I am, then creating diagrams in your content (whatever it may be) is important to illustrate key points.  I am not a very good graphics designer, so I rely heavily upon the tools that I have available to me in Word.  But which of these tools is better?  The author felt that Geminin did a far better job in composing a technical diagram, whereas ChatGPT totally fizzled out.  In fact, it suffers from a phenomenon called “Hallucination”.  What is it you may be asking?  Well, here is a definition of it:

“AI hallucinations are incorrect or misleading results that AI models generate. These errors can be caused by a variety of factors, including insufficient training data, incorrect assumptions made by the model, or biases in the data used to train the model.”

(SOURCE:  https://cloud.google.com/discover/what-are-ai-hallucinations#:~:text=AI%20hallucinations%20are%20incorrect%20or,used%20to%20train%20the%20model.)

In other words, you don’t get the output that you were wanting to get, despite the fact that the Gen AI model probably has been trained over 100X.

2)     Explaining Diagrams:

If an end user sees a diagram, and they don’t understand, the first inkling will be to ask for help interpreting it.  Of course, this is where Gen AI can come into play.  The author of the article found that while both ChatGPT and Gemini suffice for the need, the latter is a bit less wordy than the former.

3)     Examining Log Files:

One of the life bloods for the IT Security team in figuring out if anything is going wrong are to examine the log files that have been outputted by the network security devices.  It can take a long time to do this manually, so Gen AI can help here.  Which tool is better?  When presented with an actual log file, both analyzed it the same way.  But Gemini was a bit more concise than when compared to ChatGPT.

4)     Creating documentation:

Having Incident Response/Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity plans are a must for any business.  When the two tools were asked to create a sample plan, the author found that Gemini did a better job in understanding what the exact requirements were.

5)     The Creation of Source Code:

Creating scripts is one way for the IT Security team to help automate routine and mundane tasks, such as those found in Penetration Testing and Threat Hunting.  When these tools were asked to produce a few lines of a script code, both came  out as equal winners.

6)     Data Analysis:

When both were asked in this regard, Gemini was a clear loser.  It only suggested ways to analyze the metrics, whereas ChatGPT actually did the task to varying degrees, by making use of its “Data Analyst” plugin, which allows for Excel files to be ingested into the Gen AI model.

7)     Creating phony Phishing attacks:

One of the best ways you can find out if your employees are paying attention to your Security Awareness training is by launching a mock Phishing Email attack, and see who falls prey to it.  When Gemini and ChatGPT were asked to create a mock Phishing Email, the author found that Gemini created a more succinct and deceptive message versus ChatGPT, which created a wordy one.

8)     Data Privacy Laws:

Let’s face it, the wording in the GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and any other sort of compliance framework can be a nightmare to understand.  So what do you do in this particular situation?  Well ask Geminin or ChatGPT for help.  The author did this exact thing, and found out Gemini was better than Chat GPT in this regard.

My Thoughts On This:

So, you now may be asking, which one should I use?  From what I read in the article and wrote about in this blog, it seems that Gemini has the upper hand here.  But, try both for yourself and see which ones provide the best output for your needs.
