Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff ditches ChatGPT for Gemini AI after 3 years of daily use: "Holy s*** — the leap is insane".

OpenAI's ChatGPT offering is arguably the most popular and broadly adopted chatbot in the world. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella argued that the AI firm had a 2-year runway to build the chatbot uncontested in an attempt to explain its success and competitive edge against rivals.

Even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman indicated that he barely does Google searches anymore.

More recently, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff indicated that he is switching from ChatGPT after Google launched Gemini 3, which the company referred to as "a new era of intelligence". The executive highlighted the model's reasoning, speed, images, and video capabilities as the main cause for the drastic shift.

Gemini 3 ships with sophisticated capabilities, including the ability to better understand user requests and prompts. For instance, it can turn a long video lecture into interactive flashcards to foster long-term understanding.

It's worth noting that Gemini 3 isn't limited to the Gemini app. Users can interact with the model across Google's tech stack, including AI Mode in Search and AI Overviews.

What's more, the model is less susceptible to sycophantic episodes and is more secure against prompt injection attacks. OpenAI CEO and Tesla CEO Elon Musk openly congratulated the Gemini team after the successful launch of the model.

It'll be interesting to see if Gemini 3 cracks a dent in ChatGPT's massive market share, especially after OpenAI's lackluster GPT-5 launch and controversial end of support of GPT-4o, which seemingly degraded that chatbot's user experience.
