Google’s artificial intelligence assistant, Gemini, went to the top of Apple Store’s free application list on Friday night, also surpassing OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Elon Mask’s Grok on the Indian and American markets. Google DeepMind CEO Demes Hashabis congratulated the team on social media as “a mere beginning”.
Gemini’s explosive growth was the result of a viral “Nano Banana” image editing tool launched in August. The social media boom generated by the tool has given ChatGPT a highly participatory gypsy-style filter as compared to this summer. By using Gemini to upload photos and enter instructions, users can convert images to 3D overwritten with the Akli base and collection-level packaging.
As Google’s latest AI image editing tool, “Nano Banana” has been positively received by users with its “real and highly consistent” conversion, not only to preserve the profile of the person, but also to support the replacement of complex editors, such as background, multi-photo integration and clothing adaptation, while maintaining the subject’s visibility. The fire of “Nano Banana” has prompted many to create a 3D hand in their own image, including a large number of celebrities and politicians, such as Chief Minister Shimantha Biswa Salma of Assam and Chief Minister Pramoud Savant of Goa.
Gemini’s rise reflects intense competition in chat robots. The ChatGPT of OpenAI has a large global user base, but Google Gemini attracts users by its core advantages of its original multi-modular capabilities and its deep integration with Google ecosystems.
It is worth mentioning that when the chat robot went to the top of App Store, it was on several occasions when the billionaire Mask accused him of being deliberately excluded from the top of the list. In August this year, Mask sued Apple, accusing it of operating in favour of OpenAI. However, other AI applications, such as Gemini, came to the top after Mask made criticism, objectively rejecting its claim that ranking was biased.
