This Gemini feature is one ChatGPT might never be able to match

I said a while ago that I'd choose ChatGPT over Netflix if it ever came to cancelling one of the two. I've been using OpenAI's chatbot consistently for about two years now, with the Plus subscription giving me access to most premium ChatGPT features.

The way I go about it is by treating the AI like a personal assistant, even though ChatGPT is far from getting there. I use the AI to get information about various topics, including work and personal stuff. I tell the AI to give me specific data and generate more detailed reports on certain things.
