Vision AI models are changing the way we interact with the world – right from our phones. From translating text on the fly to identifying plants (or even creepy crawlers) to solving math problems and so much more, these tools can “see” and respond in ways that truly make life so much easier.
ChatGPT Vision is OpenAI’s multimodal upgrade that lets you interact with images the same way you do with text. Directly within either the ChatGPT app or from your browser, users can upload a photo and the chatbot will analyze, explain and even walk you through whatever questions you have about the image.
Similarly, Google Lens directly integrates into Android and Google apps to help users translate text, identify products and landmarks and even help with shopping. It is known for it’s quick recognition, making it a go-to for anyone who needs answers right from their phone.
But while they both serve the same purpose, not all vision models are created equal. To find out which ones actually deliver, I put ChatGPT Vision and Google Lens head-to-head across seven everyday scenarios. The results may surprise you.
