On December 7, 2023, Google officially announced the launch of two new artificial intelligence models, named GEMINI and GNoME.

Google GEMINI is a multimodal language model alternative to the well-known ChatGPT from OpenAI. 

It can process text, images, audio, and video in the already familiar way.

On the other hand, Google GNoME is a model for researching and creating new materials and substances.

Wow! Sounds super cool, right! :)

Everything would have been great if only a day after the conference where Gemini and Gnome were officially announced, the community exploded with great disappointment over some blatant manipulations and outright lies from Google.

Blatant lies and manipulations in the presentation of Google Gemini...
