I donโt Search information as often on Google as I used to.
My first preference is ChatGPT and next is Gemini.
But then lack of depth in the information and missing sources was a bugging problem.
I was on the lookout for something which was more accurate with information and source.
Something that didnโt hallucinate.
But is that even possible?
Perplexity AI claims to have ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก-๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง.

It promised what I wanted but could it deliver?
I still gave it a try.
๐๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฑ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ : [I am writing a whitepaper on [topic]. Give me a list of quotes from business and political leaders on the topic.]
It was straight forward request. I was expecting it to browse the web, extract quotes and answer them with source.
Hereโs what I got:
๐ It forgot to give links to the sources in the first attempt. I thought it was a default setting.
๐ Then it gave me 5 quotes which were quite off topic.
๐ Although the links and the information was quite accurate in 4/5, it hallucinated in the 5th.
๐ It missed a critical report on the topic from a top consulting firm available on Google search.
๐ The only silver lining was that it gave me link to a resource which gave some useful information on the topic which was different from what I was looking in the conversation.
All in all, they are solving a big problem and fighting Goliath (read Google).
I wish them luck.
