Voice AI Face-Off: ChatGPT vs Gemini
Lately, the internet has been flooded with Ghibli-style images generated by ChatGPT. Just like everyone else, I jumped on the trend and started my very first AI journey.
ChatGPT’s image generation is seriously impressive—natural-looking scenes and detailed artistry. But since I’m using the free version, there’s a daily limit, and I used it up pretty fast.
While waiting for the cooldown, I figured I’d give ChatGPT’s voice chat a try.
Of course, it started with the usual system prompts—asking what I wanted to talk about and what tone I preferred. The typical AI intro, the typical AI “robotic” chat tool. I said I liked movies, and right on cue, it followed up with: “Have you watched any interesting movies recently?”
Turns out I had just watched a Japanese drama I really enjoyed—“The Happy Life of Gana-chan the Killer”. I picked this 2025 show on purpose to test how up-to-date ChatGPT's database really is. Officially, its knowledge only goes up to June 2024, so technically it shouldn’t have known about it.
I asked how it knew, and it replied: “Even though my knowledge cuts off at June 2024, the system continues to be trained and optimized. So for major events or popular topics that spread widely after that, I might still be able to respond in a general way.”
Curious, I asked it about that day’s news—and it actually pulled current info from the web! Just when the chat was getting good, though, the voice feature hit its limit.
"You've reached the limit for messages with voice. Try again later."
I froze. The convo was getting fun, but suddenly it cut off. Image generation: cooldown. Voice chat: also cooldown. Free stuff is free for a reason, I guess. So I figured I’d try another voice AI to continue where we left off.
Since I use an Android phone, and ChatGPT told me Gemini is already built in, I opened it up to see how its voice chat compared.
