    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title mentions that Bard has been rebranded to Gemini but does not mention anything about Ultra 1.0 being a large language AI model or its capabilities. This creates confusion and implies that Gemini is just another name for Bard when it's actually an advanced version of it with new features and capabilities. Secondly, the article mentions that Google claims to have outperformed human experts on MMLU but does not provide any evidence or specific details about this claim. This creates a false impression of superiority without providing concrete information to back up the statement. Thirdly, the article mentions that Gemini faces competition from OpenAI's ChatGPT but does not mention anything about how they compare in terms of performance or capabilities.

                  • Deception (30%)
                    The article is misleading in several ways. Firstly, it states that Google has updated the app for Google Assistant with Gemini's namesake and logo. However, this is not true as there are only two apps on the device - one called 'Gemini' and another called 'Google Assistant'. Secondly, it suggests that users can delete either of these apps without any consequences. This is also incorrect as deleting the app used as a shortcut for Google Assistant will disable access to all Google services including voice commands. Lastly, the article implies that Gemini only supports Assistant commands when using voice but this is not true.
                    • The suggestion to delete either of these apps without any consequences is incorrect as deleting the app used as a shortcut for Google Assistant will disable access to all Google services including voice commands.

                    The article contains an example of a false dilemma fallacy. The author presents the reader with two options: either to delete one of the Gemini apps or not use them at all. However, there is no evidence presented in the article that using both apps will cause any issues.
                    • The author states 'If you do go out and enable Gemini on your Android device, though, you might find that there are two Gemini apps on your device.' This implies a false dilemma where the reader has to choose between deleting one of the apps or not using them at all.

                        Google's decision to only make the Gemini chatbot powered by Ultra available through Google One is a form of selective reporting. The article mentions that OpenAI charges $20 per month for the most advanced version of ChatGPT without additional productivity features, but it does not mention any other pricing options or comparisons with Microsoft's Bard. This creates an incomplete picture and implies that Google's bundle is a better deal than OpenAI's when in fact there may be more affordable alternatives available.

Secondly, the author commits a false dilemma by presenting only two options: either consumers buy into Google One and pay $19.99 per month for access to Gemini Ultra or they do not have access to it at all.

                          Google's decision to only make their Gemini chatbot powered by Ultra available through Google One subscription service is a form of monetary bias. The new tier costs $19.99 per month which doubles the cost of the current premium bundle and effectively prices Ultra at $10 per month, making it less accessible for consumers who may not be willing to pay that much for additional productivity features.
