Google has officially launched its AI service, previously known as Bard, in Canada under the new name Gemini. The rebranding reflects a strategic move as the tech giant positions Gemini as a competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The name change is part of Google's history of rebranding products, reminiscent of Google Talk's evolution to Hangouts and then Chat. The introduction of Gemini in Canada has been met with enthusiasm, signaling a positive reception to the increased competition in the AI space.
Google is axing the ‘Assistant with Bard’ branding now that Gemini is here https://t.co/1YetIGlckk
Question of the day: Bard or Gemini? Just like Google Talk turned into Hangouts and then Chat, Google really likes changing names, huh? https://t.co/gHMW3PpaUJ
Google Bard changing it's name to Gemini reminds me of Peter Thiel's old point about how strong companies want to appear harmless and weak companies want to appear strong. Bard sounds soft and gentle. ChatGPT sounds soft and gentle. Gemini sounds strong and smart.
Bard is out. Gemini is in. And it's competitive with ChatGPT. I'm surprisingly excited for this development. Healthy competition is good for us all. https://t.co/TKQ1XriaFq
