These tools are fundamentally random number generators. It’s just question of do they guess right often enough to satisfy the user.

I understand that. Like others, my experience has been mixed but overall more positive than negative. The key is how one decides to use them. I don’t use AI as a ghost writer, but I will use it to generate ideas that I had not considered and as an editor.

One last followup for future explorers of this topic, the Perplexity people try to hide their bot so it can crawl sites that have tried to opt out.
(Not trying to take Bob, just record the fact that purveyors of Perplexity have lied and ignored publishers wishes).

Came here to admit I’ve been using Perplexity a lot more than I used to 5 months ago (as mentioned in my previous comments in this threads).
They seemed to have fixed all the issues I had with it (wrong facts etc). I use it more than ChatGPT TBH.

Glad to hear it got better. Do appreciate that Perplexity is not respecting creators and copyright holders. When it helps their business they lie or avoid answering questions.
