Firstly i love ai studio and i can do stuff with Gemini 1.5 pro that nothing else can do, its hidden gold that doesnt get enough attention and sometimes i think, thats good, more advantage for me. People simply dont understand the value of that context size.
Anyways my question was this is free right? I started on ai studio same time i upgraded to google one and cant rem if its connected, i have to cancel google one and if ai studio library gets deleted ill kill myself. Also can i back it up? I cant access the google drive files so it not really backed up is it?
Please tell me no paid thing i cancel will close my ai studio access? Ive spent 100s of hours here generating stuff but i also cant export data can I? Goto do it the old fashioned way?
Also why is AI studio (which i free right?) Way better with more features then the paid advanced page? Makes zero sense, is advanced being dumbed down for the masses a plus to be paid for? Wierd
AI Studio is free. Content that you provide to AI Studio can be used by Google to improve the model (you donate the content). Content that consumers put in the paid Gemini Advanced application does not automatically get donated (people have the option to control activity: if they have activity tracking off, the data is not donated to Google).
In short, what you think is a great deal for you, is in fact a good bargain for both parties: Google prefers in a way to get your data, compared to getting your money. You get free access, which is what you want, and Google gets free data. Everybody wins.
Hope that helps explain the difference between Gemini Advanced and AI Studio. Oh, and Gemini Advanced has some plugins, the YouTube plugin is useful, but you can’t use the plugins when activity is turned off (for enhanced privacy).
