Google Vs Openai

About 45 minutes before OpenAI's announcement of GPT-4o, Google posted on X a demo of new Gemini capabilities where you show Google Gemini something on your camera via a live video feed and Google will answer your questions about it. Then OpenAI shortly after demoed its GPT-4o assistant features that blew everyone's minds away.

Google I/O kicks off in a few hours - I bet Google has some really cool things to demo.

Forum discussion at X.

Update: This is what Google showed off - pretty impressive:
