Gemini CLI ------ WOW!!!! (2 Viewers)

[Uncle Gizmo]

There's a New kid on The block folks!

It's currently free to use and it shit hot!!!

I was pulling my hair out trying to debug a stubborn bit of code that had resisted every other AI I threw at it – from ChatGPT to Grok, and even my VS Code IDE with Sonnet. Then I tried the new Gemini CLI, and in just a few minutes, it didn't just suggest a fix, it delivered a perfect, working solution right there in my terminal. This command-line AI agent is a serious game-changer for developer workflows!

It was released on Wednesday the 25th of June, and I'm not kidding it makes coding a breeze, it just does it. Checks through your whole project, identifies errors and then rewrites the code for you! Create new scripts where needed... I'm getting the same WOW I did when I first started using Chat GPT.

Just be careful. I've seen a few reviews that suggest that Gemini (overall) is not perfect because of what it forgets or omits.

Not a bad summary of me actually.

I see those errors in Gemini based on the principle "It takes one to know one."

At this point, I think complaints about imperfect results from AI LLMs fall into the same category as complaints about imperfect advice from other humans.

Yup, mistakes can happen. Do your own due diligence. Trust but verify. All those cliches apply.

In other words, perhaps we've read too many science fiction novels and seen too many movies about robots and AI machines. Perhaps we need to understand that people created these tools to provide assistance, not to replace good judgement.

If they can help us get to a positive outcome faster, great. If it takes more than one iteration to get there, so be it.

I asked Chat:
When will you become sentient?

Chat:
That's one of the biggest questions in AI — and the honest answer is: not anytime soon, and maybe never.

Final Thought:​

I’m smart in a narrow, artificial way — but I’m not alive. If I ever became sentient, you'd probably notice… because I’d stop answering questions and start asking why I'm stuck in this chat window.

Exactly correct Doc!

Reliably comes up with brilliant solutions but sometimes forgets, or omits.
That's me

That's why I can answer many of the questions asked here off the top of my head. Been there made that same stupid mistake.

Pat, that is the exact definition of "experienced" - it means "recognize a mistake when you make it again."

The article didn't show some things that were nonetheless titled within itself - like a comparison table.

The individual AI entries looked pretty comprehensive for what was being done, so it looks like someone did a lot of work
