I remember an SF short story where somebody tried to time travel to the past and ended up way out in space.

"While Gemini is the primary name for Google's AI products, the terms are not the same. They represent different aspects of Google's operations.

Gemini: The Brand and the Model
Gemini is the brand name for Google's generative AI models and applications built on them.

The Model: Gemini is the underlying large language model (LLM) that powers reasoning and generation.
The Rebrand: In February 2024, Google renamed Bard (the chatbot) and Duet AI (workspace tools) to Gemini.
The App: It also refers to the standalone Gemini assistant app available on Android and iOS. "

Google AI: The Broad Ecosystem
Google AI is a broader term that refers to the company's entire division, research initiatives, and historical developments in artificial intelligence.

Research Division: It includes Google DeepMind, the research unit responsible for creating Gemini and other technologies like AlphaFold (biology) and Gemma (open-source models).
Infrastructure: It includes the hardware that runs these models, such as Tensor Processing Units (TPUs).
Developer Tools: Tools like Google AI Studio are part of the Google AI ecosystem but are separate from the consumer Gemini app.
