I think what I like most about perplexity is that unlike other Eeins fights, it all in reasons with me, and I found that I can speak to it like I’m speaking to a person and the more information I give it in the question even an argument I’ll make an argument with it and it will either concede or not but then tell me where the discrepancy is it’s important in the aspect of trying to really come up with an assertion. That makes sense. Somethings that I do a very important what other things or not it’s good to know that you can find out what other people are thinking and what they posted. without looking all over the place is very very important. I can see what AI those some people say it’s stupid, and that it’s not a real person that comes up with the same stupid answers of people do, and that’s what’s important to me most of the things that I deal with or not about Fax like you know the trajectory to the moon but I need to know certain things about how things work and it gives me options without going to Google and getting an ad. You know this is ridiculous but here I can get lots of information move one in seconds, rather than take hours, and hours to figure out. What’s the right questions to ask.

I am so impressed with Perplexity. Info junkie here. Truly, I ask "anything" several times a day. I ALWAYS get a helpful answer that often sends me down another rabbit hole, but frequently I get just what I need in a couple of seconds. Just a bit ago, Perplexity found me a highly recommended specialist in my area who takes my medical insurance (something I couldn't make work on the insurer's site or Google), and how to cancel an auto-paid secondary app account without also killing off the primary account that has 10 years of data in it, which the app itself didn't explain. I ask for recipes, historical info, geography, science, how-to tips, anything I'm wondering about, like "How is the shell of an egg formed?," which led me to how chicken coops work (it's more interesting than you think). Very conversational, too: If I say thank you, it not only says you're welcome, it continues, "Now let's see …" and sends me deeper into the subject. I like that! The reason I'm giving Perplexity only 4/5 is that it's said to have some security vulnerabilities the company has not announced it's trying to fix. I love the app so much, I'm using it anyway, but being careful what I reveal about me and my data and interests. Same goes for Google, Facebook, etc. These days you just can't get away from the hacker syndrome, but we have to count on app providers to at least make an effort. Other than that, solid 5/5.

Going back to a search engine feels antiquated. and the results here are usually much higher quality. plus I can bypass the dumb algorithms and censorship on google and wikipedia. I mean who isnt sick to death of useless, overly seo-optimized sites cluttering your search results? (I'm looking at you healthline, webmd, mayoclinic, clevelandclinic). occasionally an ai generated site slips into the results though, so check the sources. when you use a search engine, you ask yourself a question, write a search friendly query and start going down the rabbit hole depending on the depth of your query. well perplexity explores all the rabbit holes at once, and practically writes you a wiki page on the fly with all sources. amazing. then you ask a followup, and boom another wiki page with sources. easily the best and fastest way to explore a topic quickly and thoroughly. thank you perplexity for whacking at goog, wiki, and bull-**** SEO. if I could request one thing its this - there are people on X who I would call "aggregators" they thoroughly understand a topic and have good information linked in their messages. if you could tap into that human curation, that would be excellent.
