Google's new AI chatbot, Gemini, is showing a big drop in popularity just months after its launch. Gemini’s downloads fell by over 32% from its peak in May. According to reports, errors in Gemini’s responses have damaged user trust. These issues make it hard for Gemini to compete with established chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT.
When Gemini launched, it had over 555,000 downloads by February 2024.
By March, however, downloads dropped to 141,296 and then to just over 125,000 in April. In spite of a brief recovery in May with 720,630 downloads, June saw a sharp decline to 493,051 downloads. This shows the challenges Google faces in keeping users interested.
There are several issues that have hurt Gemini's popularity -
· Inaccurate Responses: The AI has given incorrect information, such as suggesting glue in a pizza recipe and recommending eating rocks for nutrients.
· Image Service Errors: The AI showed historically inaccurate images, like depicting the U.S. Founding Fathers as people of colour, leading Google to suspend its image service in February.
These problems have raised serious concerns about Google’s testing process for the technology.
Google's Gemini AI faces big challenges in regaining user trust and competing in the crowded AI chatbot market. It is crucial for the tech giant to fix the accuracy issues if it wants to see the app's future success.
