I've been using Gemini in lieu of Google search where I'm asking a question I want an answer to rather than searching for a website. Microsoft is doing this with Bing, it tries to understand when you're searching for web sites and when you're searching for answers. I imagine Google will eventually integrate these offerings. Where Microsoft's integrated approach presents challenges is Gemini provides for a conversational approach (context). If I ask a question and subsequently need to provide further clarification, I can just provide the clarification. I don't need to re-ask the entire edited question. It's amazing how fast I've become accustomed to this conversational approach. WRT Apple, Siri has become irksome. She can't reliably handle basic tasks on your phone, much less general-purpose questions. At this point I think it's going to become the case that AI is a commodity, and I don't see what Apple gains by building their own commodity service.
