All the best!

Looking forward to see how they build trust with their consumers. Why would people shift to perplexity from Google besides the fact that it saves them some time? Will people really trust a single source of truth?

[@Deiko95]

the golden question

[@user-fz8mh6bn1l]

Pulls answers from google lol

[@digvijaylamba9650]

They provide citations (links to source) for every answer they provide

[@anothername2730]

@@digvijaylamba9650exactly, it’s like a Wikipedia article generated for your search query - citations and all.

Aravind is AWESOME

I've used perplexity and I'm failing to understand what all the fuss is about. It's just one of a gazillion other AI products that is little more than a front-end to GPT or another proprietary LLM. It's accuracy is so-so and it barely differentiates itself from any of those other products. All this google-killer talk sounds like a lot of hubris and hot air.

[@etobillion7805]

Google is still free. why would i be paying for this even if it's better than Google? i mean it can save me some time but that's not critical enough to pay for subscription.

[@Itsmejabs]

I found it way easier and I do not pay

[@anirudhramesh8207]

So damn inspirational, man!

Lot of hate on the comment section to the guy. I think he would definitely have been more appreciated as a white person. People like Bezos have invested. Even a marginal difference in experience is quite significant. There is subscription model and then there is advertising model. They will probably bet on both.
