Still Using GPT? Honestly, It's Time to Switch to Google Gemini.
Still Using GPT? Honestly, It's Time to Switch to Google Gemini.
"Is GPT finished? The shocking report card from Google Gemini 3 Flash."
Last month, Google released its entry-level model, 'Gemini 3 Flash.' I thought it was just a budget-friendly model, but after digging in, it turned out to be a monster on par with GPT-5.2. What's even more shocking is the reaction from the Korean market. Just one month after its release, the number of Korean users has exploded, and the gap with GPT is closing at a terrifying pace. From the top keyword in major corporate New Year's addresses becoming 'AI,' Google is at the center of all these changes. The reason why OpenAI had no choice but to declare a 'Code Red,' and what we need to prepare for in the midst of this massive shift. I'll reveal all the raw data in my comeback video.

Everyone, what did I tell you when Gemini 3.0 was released? I said that in the end, Google would come out on top, that Google is a god, and that the final winner of the AI war has already been decided.
When Google released its entry-level model, Gemini 3 Flash, on December 17th last month, most of you probably thought, "Oh, just another budget model," and moved on.
But now, exactly one month after its release, do you know how the market landscape has changed? Today, I'm going to lay bare the chilling data report card showing how Google is devouring Korea's generative AI market and why GPT, which once held the absolute throne, is losing its power.
Hello, this is CallitAI, your guide to surviving the AI era. I'm back with a new video after about five weeks. A lot has happened during that time. I went through some personal difficulties but have recovered a lot and am getting back into form.
I'll be pushing forward again. Thank you for waiting. A huge thank you to my channel members and everyone on Discord who believed in me and waited. Thanks to you, I was able to get back on my feet quickly. I'll soon show you 100%, no, more than 100% of the person you knew before, so please wait just a little longer!
Now, let's get back to the main topic.
First, the arrival of a monster disguised as Flash, and the crisis for GPT
First, let's revisit Gemini 3 Flash, which was released last month. Its name might be 'Flash,' but its performance is anything but light. In fact, it's terrifying.
Right after its release, this model showed performance on par with its competitor's top-tier model, GPT-5.2, in benchmarks. It scored 33.7% on the 'Humanity's Last Exam' professional test. Considering the previous version was at 11%, that's an insane threefold growth.
Its multimodal capabilities in particular—meaning its ability to understand video or analyze audio—are at 81.2%, making it the overwhelming number one among all existing models.
Google has integrated this monster-performance model as the default model in the Gemini app. This means anyone in the world can now carry the intelligence of a top-tier GPT model in their pocket for free.
On the other hand, OpenAI's situation is not looking good. While the release of the GPT-5 series did generate some "That's GPT for you" reactions, the appeal of its paid subscription model is rapidly declining as Google starts to release high-performance models for free. In fact, recent data suggests that the churn rate for GPT Plus is noticeably increasing. People are starting to think, "Do I really need to pay for GPT when Google gives it all for free?"
Furthermore, Anthropic's Claude and Elon Musk's Grok are also rising fiercely. Claude is stealing the hearts of developers, with reviews claiming it surpasses GPT, especially in coding and writing. Grok is threatening the news search market with its weapon of real-time data from X (formerly Twitter). GPT is now caught in a sandwich between the giant that is Google and rising powers like Claude and Grok.
Google calls this Gemini 3 Flash model a workhorse. Its insane cost-efficiency of $0.50 per million tokens makes companies choose Google without hesitation when processing large volumes of data.
Second, Korean market data proves Google's counterattack.
Now, for the really important part. How has the Korean market, known for being the most sensitive to technology, reacted since the release of the Gemini 3 series? I'll prove it to you with numbers.
According to the latest analysis from Sensor Tower, the landscape of the Korean market is being completely overturned.
As of last October, GPT held 53.9% of the generative AI advertising market, while Google had a mere 5%. It wasn't even a competition.
But in December, after the release of Gemini 3, GPT's share plummeted to 33.9%, while Google surged to 27.2%. This means that as soon as Google gained confidence in its product, it began a marketing carpet bombing of the Korean market with its vast capital.
The app usage is even more surprising. Since the release of Gemini 3, the daily active users (DAU) in Korea have exploded by a staggering 103.7%. This is the highest growth rate among major countries worldwide.
The gap with GPT is also closing rapidly. Just a year ago, there was more than a sevenfold difference in user numbers, but now it has narrowed to about fourfold. This is proof that Google's pursuit speed is far outpacing GPT's growth rate.
Third, what the New Year's addresses of Korean conglomerates tell us about the future.
This change isn't just limited to general users. If you look at the moves of the major corporations that drive the Korean economy, Google's victory becomes even clearer.
Do you know the most mentioned word in the New Year's addresses of Korea's top 10 conglomerates this year? It was 'AI.' A keyword that was barely in the top 10 last year was mentioned a total of 44 times this year, instantly jumping to first place.
In particular, technology-leading companies like SK and Samsung have positioned AI as a prerequisite for survival. SK emphasized that they "must create new business models by combining AI knowledge," and Samsung Electronics declared they will "leap forward to become a leading AI company through AX innovation and overwhelming product competitiveness."
What does this mean? It means that companies are moving beyond simply adopting AI and are starting to place it at the core of their business. And when companies adopt AI, the most important factors they consider are stability, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
Google's Gemini 3 Flash checks all three of these boxes. GPT is expensive and heavy. Claude and Grok still lack a mature ecosystem. But Google has all the infrastructure, from cloud and search to Android and productivity tools (Workspace). From a corporate perspective, there is no reason not to choose Google.
Fourth, Koreans spend money. On Google.
What's more shocking is the revenue. Korean users aren't just using it for free.
Of Gemini's global iOS revenue, the US is number one, and surprisingly, Korea took second place with 11.4%, surpassing Japan. This means Korea is the so-called 'prime market' with the highest revenue-to-download ratio. It's as if Google has confirmed that Korean users are ready to open their wallets if the performance is guaranteed.
Furthermore, user behavior patterns are also changing.
In the past, many people used only GPT, but now, 40.8% of GPT users also use Gemini. With significant usability improvements not just in the app but also on the web, cross-platform usage spanning PC and mobile has nearly doubled. This is strong evidence that Google Gemini is not just a simple chatbot but is deeply integrating into our daily lives and work.
Conclusion: OpenAI's Code Red has become a reality.
Remember the rumor that Sam Altman declared a Code Red within the company? Looking at this data, it wasn't a rumor; it was a fact.
With the overwhelming cost-effectiveness and performance of Gemini 3 Flash as its weapon, Google is perfectly integrating AI into the Google Search and Android ecosystems.
The time has come when GPT can no longer survive on its 'pioneer' title alone. Google has caught up in performance, the price competitiveness is beyond comparison, and Google is dominant in ecosystem control. On top of that, rising powers like Claude and Grok are fiercely penetrating the gaps left by GPT.
People no longer bother with complex prompts. They just open Google, ask a question, and upload a photo. That seamless experience is encroaching on the Korean market and the rest of the world.
Are you still using GPT out of habit? Or are you feeling the terrifying growth of Google?
Gemini 3 Flash and the turbulent changes in the AI market. Please leave your thoughts in the comments.
Reiterating my conviction that Google will ultimately win, this has been CallitAI. Thank you.
