No tf it isn’t.
Most people don’t even know what perplexity is.
well whether popular doesn’t neceserally mean ungood. though I’m pretty skeptical when it comes to search engines as the amount they have to build up information wise to potentially be good is pretty extreme, it’s unlikely that someone could accomplish it without actually being known
edit: oh shit, it’s just AI crap… nevermind any of my potential it’s not impossible that a hidden gem would be feasilble it’s AI crap. No nobody needs a search engine to bring up something that you can’t verify if it’s credible information or just random guesses made by what’s popular on the internet… completely worthless.
Perplexity cites its sources though, so you can just read those when you suspect it’s halloucinating.
halloucinating
you’re hallucinating extra letters
kagi is actually a pretty good, quite unknown search engine. I strongly prefer it to google.
Did they pay for the article?
Wot? Perplexity ai, that app that I have on my phone and that I sometimes ask random things when I want to be angry at something and that gives entirely useless and wrong answers 95% of the time? lollmaoeven
It is good for answering simple questions. It isn’t a search engine its more of an answers engine wherby you ask something and it will do the search and procure the answer from the results. It works well most of the time however like all AI it hulicinates so if you ask it something too complex it isnt very good.
Maybe not now, but in future, with more accurate results, AI powered search will be preferred by majority, because of the convenience.
The best search engine for my money is kagi. It’s $5 a month but there’s no ads, I get to block pinterest and I downranked fandom wikis. There’s even a fediverse filter.
I moved to Startpage.
That’s still using Google,no?
