Despite the better technology, Gemini AI isn't better than Google Assistant on this topic

It seems that Gemini AI is not performing well at accurately detecting songs, according to Kyle Wiggers of TechCrunch, who said that Gemini is underperforming (or not performing at all) on this topic compared to its much modest older sibling Google Assistant.

Ask Gemini, which replaces Google Assistant on Android, to ID a song and it has the nerve to suggest using apps like Shazam — or invoking Google Assistant by switching back to it. For added variety, it’ll occasionally suggest random songs from YouTube.

The journalist says he has reached out to Google to let them know about Gemini’s underperforming activity when it comes to song recognition.

Either way, if it turns out to be true, and Gemini AI doesn’t perform well at accurately detecting songs, then it would be a disappointment, given just how much Google has been investing in this model.

Released last year, and available in 3 models, Gemini uses all kinds of advanced AI technologies to provide solutions to a variety of tasks, from text-based content to audio content management (including music recognition), and video-based content.

Google describes Gemini as a multimodal AI, that is an AI capable of generating different forms of content, and the company recently released the Gemma model within it, to help developers everywhere. Gemma runs on pretty much anything, from a PC and mobile to IoT and cloud.

Aside from the new model, Google is seeking to implement Gemini in everything, in a similar fashion to Copilot being released on every Microsoft product. Gemini has been implemented in the Chrome search bar, and users can access the AI tool to get better results (per Google) when they’re looking for something.

Well, if those results are as accurate as detecting songs, then maybe you should stick to Google Assistant for a while, instead of using Gemini AI.

Either way, it will be interesting to see if Google indeed decides to respond.
