Okay, I've been putting Gemini through its paces against GPT-4, and honestly, I'm not seeing it live up to all the hype. Don't get me wrong, it has potential, but there are areas where it just falls short. I built a tool called ClashOfGPTs.com to see for myself. Some observations: - Coding Skills: Gemini Ultra writes complex code, but can be error-prone. GPT-4 is less ambitious, but makes fewer mistakes. - Creativity: Gemini Ultra excels in creative writing and storytelling. - Reasoning: Gemini Ultra and GPT-4 have similar capabilities, with no clear winner. - Speed: Gemini Ultra provides significa ntly faster responses.

I thought I'd try your app and paid for the 'pro' version, but I'm not happy that the first thing that is a prerequisite for it to function at all, is that it demands: > access to control “System Events.app”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “System Events.app”, and to perform actions within that app. Not allowing this access, seems to disable use of the app altogether - not even a window appears, and there's no menubar item (it's not even capable of quitting on its own - I need to go into the Force-quit dialog to close it). Two things would be useful: 1. At the very least, explain why you're going to request this access, and why the app needs it to function 2. Try to architect the app without needing the permission, at all.

  I installed the app using the same dmg and didn't get any popup asking for "system events.app" control. Could you share which version of MacOS you are running? is it an intel Mac or Apple Silicon Mac? Let me borrow my friend's macbook tmrw to try installing on a fresh device and see if I can repro your issue! This is a simple electron app and shouldn't require any special permissions.

    [UPDATE] I've now fixed "permissions" issue -- app doesnt require systems control anymore -- it was a bug in entitlements file. Please try downloading the latest version from https://www.clashofgpts.com https://www.clashofgpts.com Thank you for your support!
