I mean, my experience Perplexity is one of the better AI's I have used, that said I don't actually use it a lot, I've never encountered any actual bullshit replies like the others give
I agree about Perplexity being better than others I've tried. I actually use it quite a bit, and even installed it on the phone because of how useful I find it. It does make mistakes of course, but I figure it is on me to verify any search results I get from anything online. At least Perplexity cites references so I can check :)
@ceorl indeed same here I've found it more useful than any other and mistakes happen.Exactly its up to users to make sure we ain't being misled by these services, blind trust a lot of these services are getting is ridiculous.
I like that perplexity let's users decide what they want returned in our results the "Focus" features to only search particular parts of the internet - academic papers online to discover scientific answers, or you can only search on Reddit etc...
