Mr Steel before I can get used to 1, a lot more are already available, but it’s hard to decide if they’re better and worth transitioning to them. I guess it’s just a matter of trying it out.
I actually see this as a benefit - there’s a lot of competition in this space and that pushes people to innovate more to entice people to use their AI and become the best of the best. I don’t feel tied to any particular service right now, mostly I guess because I’m not paying for anything and it’s as easy as entering my email address to join a new site; so hopping between different AI tools isn’t difficult and I can easily decide which one will be best suited for the task/question I need to perform.
I said above that I’ve used it to ask about a method of transportation and the benefit of using Perplexity here over other LLM tools is that I can verify its answers and double check it’s not just making things up based on the sources it provided which is essential for something like travel planning.
I’ve only just started using it myself but with a big trip coming up this year, I’ll keep trying it and reporting back with my findings!
