Gemini isn't a competitor to HTML, it's an alternative.

  Alternative would need to fill similar function, while it can't even embed an image or put a table.

    That's not what alternative means. A passenger train is an alternative to a bus, but you can't drive a train on a freeway. "Alternative" in no way implies "feature parity". Getting addicted to meth and dying in a shootout with the police is an alternative to completing a medical degree and retiring to the Poconos, but they do not fill similar functions.

      I mean if you want to use that as an example it would be like taking a bus or walking 50km to the next town...

        To be fair, I think it's pretty reasonable to say that walking 50 km isn't competition to taking a bus, but just an alternative. To be competition, it would have to be a _good_ alternative...

    Hacker News can't even embed an image or put a table, yet here you are? Anyway... _________________ / /| / / | / Table / | / / | /________________/ /|| | __________ | / || | | | || | | | || | | | || | | | || | | |_|/ | | |_|/ | | | | | | |__|/ |__|/

        Same as people who use Gemini.
