Google is winning on every front except... marketing (Google has a chatbot?), trust (who knew the founding fathers were so diverse?), safety (where's the 2.5 Pro model card?), market share (fully one in ten internet users on the planet are weekly ChatGPT users), and, well, vibes (who's rooting for big G, exactly?).

But I will admit, Gemini Pro 2.5 is a legit good model. So, hats off for that.

You really hit the nail on the head with trust. Knowing the power of these AIs and how absolutely little I trust Google, I’d never tell trust Gemini with the things I’ll say to ChatGPT.

Why do you think OpenAI is more trustworthy than Google?

For me it’s less about trustworthiness and more about what they can do with the information. Google can potentially locate, profile and influence everyone around me and I don’t want that type of power however benevolent they are.

What can OpenAI do? They can sell my data, whatever, it’s a whole bunch of prompts of me asking for function and API syntax.

Do you think Google doesn't sell that data, or that other companies don't collect and resell it?

In either case, I'm sure that's how it starts. "This company has very little power and influence; what damage can they do?"

Until, oh so suddenly, they're tracking and profiling you and selling that data.

Based on some friends in Google, I don’t think they explicitly sell it but live ad auction is something I’m wary of.

Also, it’s less about what they currently do but what they’re capable of. A Cold War of privacy of sorts.
