This AI Outperforms ChatGPT - Gemini AI for research

In this video, I explore the potential of Google Gemini AI for academic and research tasks, diving into its features and performance. As someone who regularly experiments with large language models, I was intrigued by Gemini’s top ranking on the Chatbot Arena Leaderboard and its promise of innovative tools designed for professionals and academics alike.

Through this journey, I discovered how Google AI Studio provides a platform to unlock Gemini's capabilities for researchers, writers, and students navigating the complexities of academic work.

Using Gemini for Academia opens up exciting possibilities for tasks like creating structured literature reviews, providing feedback on abstracts, and even analyzing scientific figures. While many AI tools are limited by their training models or a lack of internet access, Google Gemini stands out for its ability to synthesize information in a way that feels more tailored to research needs. For example, when I asked it to outline a literature review on transparent electrodes, its structured response demonstrated a deep understanding of the topic, making it an excellent tool for organizing complex ideas before delving into the writing process.

What makes Gemini unique isn’t just its accuracy but its adaptability. In this Gemini tutorial, I demonstrate how to prompt the AI effectively to get the most out of its features. From critiquing academic abstracts to summarizing peer-reviewed papers, Google Gemini offers a seamless experience that blends writing assistance with analytical insights. However, as with any AI, it’s important to remain critical of the information it provides, as some of its outputs may require further verification—particularly when it comes to citing real-world research.

For those wondering how to use Google Gemini, the Google AI Studio serves as an accessible hub for both casual and professional users. This video walks through its interface, showing how to interact with Gemini in ways that maximize productivity and creativity. Whether you’re drafting your first thesis chapter, editing a conference paper, or seeking inspiration for your next project, Gemini AI proves to be a versatile companion.

By the end of the video, you'll not only understand what Gemini can do but also how it compares to other tools like ChatGPT or Grok. Whether you’re new to AI or looking for innovative ways to enhance your research workflow, this video offers insights and practical tips to help you navigate the rapidly evolving world of AI in academia.

Man Gemini be holding everything to its chest like everything's such a big secret !😂

[EssentiallyAI]

The key advantage of using Gemini: it's relatively large context window. All other models fall short compared to Gemini. It can easily handle 100 PDFs, for example.

[RichardCCampbell]

2.0 Advanced works much better in Gemini Pro, rather than the studio. For the lit review it gave me a good structure and real references.

[sheraz]

I use whatever I can get for free from Gemini and ChatGPT. I usually use them for asking science questions and to solve physics questions from various books. As far as my experience is, Gemini is nowhere near ChatGPT. ChatGPT gives correct answers in very readable format, while Gemini gives very stupid responses in hideous format. Maybe Gemini's paid version is better but I don't use that.

[Justashortcomment]

So better than Claude 3.5? If so, could you elaborate a little?

[MarkWheels]

I want to know the story behind Andy’s shirt

[dylanrees]

This is a bit worrying. The logical extrapolation of this is AI reading papers by AI to produce new papers on AI.

[Nathaniel_Bush_Ph.D.]

The Gemini watermarking is a deal-breaker for me.

[ArianeQube]

An LLM without the websearch function is equal to zero. I could never trust the "papers" it finds and also it would never be up to date. I can't remember the time I used ChatGPT without the search function, for me that is on by default. This is also a reason why I am not using Claude.

[waqasghazi]

Now I know what 'deep' means. Thanks Andy. 😂

[christopherd.winnan]

None of these tools match the abilities of Infranodus. If only there was a free version.

[cloudguru]

Anything I wanna do I do it better with Chatgpt or Claude. I'm really disappointed with Gemini, and I had big hopes for Gemini 2.0 but again it didn't deliver!

[akkamiau]

what an idiotic idea to kill your time to correct ai :D maybe check outside, the real world, its not gonna last long if we do as we do

[hammzaali]

Could you give us a link to test it ourselves ?

[Leftists_are_Losers]

Isn’t Gemini the AI that is convinced that George Washington was black ?

Why would we want to learn to use a flawed AI ? So we can make obvious mistakes even faster than before ?

[anthonybeaton]

Using it to create ideas from your data (charts and graphs). Excuse me? That is data mining 101, and not how scientific research is done!

[hanskrakaur]

I have find the Gpto and Gpto1 far better at this. 1, 000, 000 tokens? sure. Try to upload 10 pdfs and make a needle in a haystack test. Claude is far, far better at that with a context window 1/10 of gemini´s.

[markl]

Science and research can be done without screaming your head off for attention. Please concentrate on content. I don't want to stop watching your video's, because you are just screaming into the camera :(
For example, this is where you use a calmer voice:

This is where you scream your head off:

Getting the first impression that you just scream all the time, isn't fun :( I know you can do better....and you do.... just...be aware.

[darrylbaker]

I totally disagree. for education use Gemini is nowhere near a match for GPTChat

[tommart]

LOL. Are you for real? Both of those statistical word generators are absolutely useless. Gemini destroyed google search results. Can't even get the correct opening times for the local supermarket.
