    You are seriously saying that AI is better than a normal Google search.

    I understand there’s a lot of gaming this system going on but that’s better than AI. At least with a Google search you can read the sources and see how relevant they actually are, ai is just a black box.

      That’s why you use something like perplexity.ai instead of an LLM

      It lists the sources where it found the information, so you can always doublecheck. The AI part is mostly just summarises of the websites that bypass the SEO bullshit.

      Not only that, but AI is a blackbox that doesn’t know anything and feeds you with random words in a plausible way. It’s just made up text with no knowledge whatsoever.

      Honestly, i felt so multiple times.

      Often, after googling and going through top results, when unable to find anything relevant… I ask perplexity and it gives a tailored answer and gets relevant sources. I had been googling for more than a decade.
