Can Google's AI Beat A PRO Player at Geoguessr?

In today's video, we're going to see if the Google Gemini AI is able to beat Sponge the Gaming Sponge in a 1v1 battle. Sponge has thousands of games of experience in Geoguessr, so he'll be putting up a good fight. Enjoy!

Uppsala is part of Uppland, like the AI said, Uppland is a region and Uppsala is the regions "capital" for lack of better translation coming to mind (2:30 area)

I love how the AI just seems to get progressively more insecure and ask Oscar what he thinks of its guesses😭

[Lennli]

kinda unfair you pitted the ai against the best player in the world, sponge the gaming sponge

To help the AI interactions go better, I would recommend testing different written "prep" prompts that you can enter in before jumping into the game. I imagine you've nailed down the verbal instructions you give when resetting Gemini, but it could be better for the AI to have some hyper specific prompts pasted into the chat before you start. Tell it exactly what you expect from it and give more information about the game and the setup. Could be something like, "You are a pro GeoGuessr player (explain what that is more), when a round is shown I want you to give me a specific guess that includes the country, region, and nearest largest city. You are not to ask me what I think of the round and you are not to repeat back to me details I've offered...." get VERY specific with the prompt and mess around with different wording and instructions "do this/don't do this" to see if you can find the best prep before starting. It doesn't need to be concise, as you'd be copying and pasting it before starting the game, instead of having to speak it out.

I just love how Gemini mispronounces geoguessr every single time lmfao

"Alright, so the last location was in..."
"Can you please tell me a specific location...?"

Ai:
1% geoguessing the location
99% Captain obvious

Can you just ask the AI to give coordinates where to put your marker?

To get AI working optimally the way you prompt it matters a lot. When you open up the AI, it might be better to have a copy-pasteable block of text that explains to the AI the rules and what you want it to do, in detail, and give the AI that text before opening the screen share, this will help with when the session times out and you need to restart, but also would allow you to fine-tune the prompting given to the AI. There's a reason the term "prompt engineer" is used in regards to those who work with AI at a more professional level, the prompt you give it will affect much, like it's personality, mannerisms, what pieces of information it prioritizes, etc. Adding a statement to the prompt such as "After each round we move on, there is no need to review the previous round unless asked." could have the AI avoid repeating back information afterwards. Gemini is trained more to be used as a tool to assist in decision making and attempt to provide supplemental details, it's not really trained much to take an active role, this is why it always attributes the actions to you, and is defaulting to providing feedback on what happened, because this is the more common use-case. To change this behavior the AI can be effectively told how it should act. If you get really into it people can prompt these AIs to provide answers in very specific formats. Most people who use AI give it basic prompts, and the results can be decent, but AI can become truly terrifying sometimes when it is running off of well optimized prompting.

the consistency is crazy bro!! perfect vid to watch whilst eating

1:58 nice little detail in the subtitles with the buffering

[Tropical_Tutorials]

Would be really fun to see two different AI:s playing against each other, similar to Gothamchess’ AI Chatbot Chess Championships

[casuallycasualty]

you are too patient with the ai bro. everytime you needed to repeat “be more specific” i felt so bad for you haha 😭😂

[flawedreality]

It's amazing that the AI ​​doesn't understand that it is the one supposed to play against Sponge.

[mikemc]

5:47 HE FOUND OUT THE WORD RURAL HAHAHA

[funzionedispari]

AI guessing everything and then congratulates with you lmao
