That's a surprisingly strong endorsement of Perplexity that may make me take another (third or fourth) look at them.
Funnily enough, Perplexity was my first ever experience with AI-powered search, well before Microsoft pulled GPT-4 into Bing Chat. I even shared it with some friends as "a glimpse into the future of search." Then I kind of navigated over to GPT-4-powered Bing for a while. Then some article (or video) encouraged me to install the Perplexity extension, which brings up Perplexity on any page you're browsing and allows you to chat with it. I didn't quite get to incorporate it into my routine and eventually uninstalled it.
Since I also mention Perplexity's new offerings (like "online LLMS") in my articles, I regularly go to Perplexity Labs to test out the available models. But at no point did Perplexity become my go-to tool.
In your opinion, what exactly makes Perplexity outshine Google and Bard (which also attempt to browse the web for their answers and provide sources for them)? Is it the interface/ease of use? Is it the quality of sources? Is it fewer hallucinations?
I'm very tempted to give Perplexity another go after reading this!
I feel like I've personally learned the craft of verifying info on ChatGPT so much that it's just default for me now. Everything important gets fact checked 100% of the time, and I find I can do about 10 hours worth of research in about an hour and some change today. My only concern with a new platform you're supposed to be able to trust more, is that folks will trust it too much more.
Great article, thanks for sharing. I've been using Bing Chat since it was released in a similar way that you described. I agree that it changes the whole dynamics of searching and increases productivity. I'll test Perplexity too, looks amazing.

Just downloaded to check perplexity out. Glad someone is mentioning the overuse of the word copilot. I'm getting tired of seeing it everywhere.
Great writeup! Looks like I've been sleeping on Perplexity. Going to give them a go based on your ringing endorsement

Thanks for heads up on Perplexity.
