I asked Perplexity a question. Gave me an answer I accepted, then, thought, better just double check this with a Google search.

Nope Perplexity gave me a totally wrong answer.

I cannot tell you how upsetting a user experience this was to me. Thinking about canceling my Pro sub off of one wrong answer. Can’t trust it.

I have similar experience with ChatGPT. Sometimes I'm hesitating to use it because I feel that it is better to not get information then get information which may or may not be true.

What was the question, out of curiosity?

it was the dumbest question ever, too! that might have made it worse. "What happens to the virus plot line in the movie Office Space?" something along those lines.
