That being said, I’ve moved to using perplexity over Google for personal use. I still use google maps, drive, etc. but if I need research on anything my first stop is perplexity.
I’m not about to trust an Llm with purchasing of goods just yet. However, I do see the allure of building study plans, flash cards, Etc. from your school syllabus.
I _suppose_ that Comet would save me from copy/pasting, but the fact that they would read my emails is quite deterring.
I suppose what I'm asking is: what is Comet's unique value prop?
Worse, GPT hallucinated: "To alleviate concerns, Comet is designed so that much data is stored locally by default. For example, by default email/calendar content etc. is not uploaded unless you explicitly request an action that requires it."
From its citation: "Comet may process some local data using Perplexity’s servers to fulfill your queries. This means Comet reads context on the requested page (such as text and email) in order to accomplish the task requested."
Perhaps I'm too cynical, but chatGPT is farrrr more generous than what Comet's FAQ states.
They are not free like Google. It’s a paid subscription. So they don’t share your data (yet) for advertising, etc.
