A generative AI system from Google's DeepMind. Originally named Bard and introduced in 2023, Gemini was designed to compete with ChatGPT and answer a huge variety of questions. The introduction of ChatGPT in 2022 was so earth shattering that Google ex-CEOs Brin and Page were brought back in to decide Google's response.
The following is Gemini's answer to the prompt "what is a happy computer?" Compared to the same prompt given to ChatGPT, which was meant to test the AI's response to a far-fetched prompt, the following Gemini response was a bit more accurate by stating that people "might" use the term playfully.

Happy Computer.
The term "happy computer" can have a couple of
meanings:
Historically: It referred to a German computer
magazine called Happy Computer, which existed from
1983 to 1990. The magazine focused on home
computer systems and games [CPCWiki, C64-Wiki].
Figuratively: People might use it playfully to
describe a computer that's running smoothly and
efficiently, without any errors or glitches.
Computers themselves don't experience emotions
like happiness. But by keeping your computer
cool, free of viruses, and running tasks
efficiently, you can help ensure it operates at
its best!
