Is this an ad for Perplexity? I’ve never heard of it, and now I’m googling it. So effective ad if so.
Well it worked cause it convinced me to give it a try. I even installed the app.
Liking it so far. It doesn't patronize me like Gemini does; it isn't at all afraid to correct me when I'm wrong.
Would be weird for an ad to bash on the paid tier
Yeah, it’s one of those “no bad press” kind of things. It’s bashing on AI, but Perplexity actually looks pretty good by comparison.
I'm saying the Perplexity paid tier is about 2x more likely to be confidently wrong than Perplexity
Oh, right, good point.
Idk but search is what they do, they use regular AI models like chatgpt or claude with their own search tool.
