I’m surprised at all the negativity on perplexity. I think it’s a great approach (base answers on sources) and their product seems to deliver on the premise.

That said, anecdotally, I find it’s a bit hit-miss: if it’s hit it’s a huge improvement over google (and a minor improvement over chatgpt), if it’s miss it’s still good but get the feeling you won’t get anywhere further by asking more questions.
