"People have no idea what claude or gemini are"

One well-placed ad campaign could easily change all that. Doesn't hurt that Google can bundle Gemini into Android.



If it were that simple to sway markets through marketing, we would see Pepsi/Coca-Cola or McDonalds/BurgerKing swing like crazy all the time from "one well-placed ad campaign" to the next. We do not.


Thanks to well-placed ad campaigns, people have a very good idea what Pepsi, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Burger King are. They also know what Siri is. And it would be similarly easy to establish Gemini as a household name.
