The arrival of Chatgpt to Spain was the start of a new era in the way we use the internet search. Many analysts pointed to what Google could have a real competitorfor the first time in decades, this theory was underwent with the launch of the operating search engine with artificial intelligence.
But Alphabet, his matrix, was not a new company in this technology. In fact, the creations of the Transformers, Key pieces in the development of generative artificial intelligence. After some first bands with proposals such as Bard, they have managed to position themselves and create a brand as Geminiwhich replaces its assistant.
This artificial intelligence has been the one that I have used in a recent trip to Istanbul in which I have used it as a tour guide. I have compared it with two experiencis with human guidesone in the Turkish city itself and another in San Francisco. The reality is that Gemini use is not always better than a human guide, but sometimes yes.
One of the key functions of this AI is that we can take a photo and load it in the interface to, just after, ask questions about it. In this way we can know what we are seeing, and will answer us acceptably concisely. This is important, because We do not want to have to read a complete page of Wikipedia with each monument We visit.
Gemini’s use is simple in new mobiles, since It is activated by default when the ignition button is pressedas with the new Samsung Galaxy S25 series. There we can make any questions using natural languagewhich helps communication neither slow nor tedious.

Also We can upload a photo that we have taken but what we have any doubtallowing us to know more about a monument even if we are no longer next to him. Of course, we have to be aware that Generative artificial intelligence can still give us answers that are not entirely correctso in case of doubt it is better to consult other sources.
In my experience on this trip, and in the previous weeks using Gemini in a similar way, I have found that it is better than some human guides. It is true that there is still a lot Where the human guide is still much more entertaining than Gemini, although also much more expensive, of course. Of course, I have seen how some guides gave data that were not entirely correct. It is not only the one that can hallucinate.

But on a trip for pleasure, in which not every day you have the services of a guide, as is usually normal, These types of tools help us travel differentlymanaging to know more things than we visit and do it in a simple way. This is key, because if layers of a certain complexity are added in the end, the user will not use these functions.
