It is designed to engage with human-like conversation and can understand and produce natural language text. ChatGPT is based on a sophisticated language-model trained using vast amounts of text. This training allows it to respond to different prompts and questions. ChatGPT’s versatility allows it to perform a variety of tasks, such as generating written content, such as articles, code, essays, or information, and taking part in interactive discussions.

Google urges iPhone users to switch to standalone Gemini app
Last fall, Google introduced a standalone Gemini app for iOS. At the same time, the AI assistant remained in the standalone Google app. That’s now changing. As 9to5Google first noted, Google is informing iOS users that it will remove Gemini support from the Google app. In doing so, it wants you to rely solely on the Gemini app.
In an email to iOS users, Google says: “We’re making some changes to create an even better Gemini experience on iOS.

With the Gemini app, you’ll have access to all of the same features and more.”
