Perplexity

“the link does not say what Perplexity told you it does. This happened to me a frightful number of times.”

“their design of every sentence needing to be able to be referenced back to an actual source seems like a super power for trust”

“AI LLM systems, i.e. perplexity.ai, are very good at tutoring someone about how something works”

“still my go to app when I want to quickly check something and have some sources linked”

“They never had a great a product and the only reason for using them, was when they offered Pro accounts for free.”

“the product feels focused because the AI, sources, and browsing workflow all serve the same clear job”

“It's way faster than the default websearch tool + give a link to the reference directly.”

“Perplexity is so much more useful to me, because I usually have a question, that I can just enter and get an answer that usually is correct.”

“Perplexity AI made searching online fun again, be it for code, anything in general, I just use Perplexity AI.”

“I think its the less AI-ish one and relies on more factual data than any "chat" AI.”

“Yesterday it took just under nine minutes to deliver a detailed and accurate answer”

“i find a mixture of perplexity and chatgpt perform much better and find higher quality results faster”

“Perplexity requires providing a phone number to continue to work, even if you're on Pro subscription”

“Perplexity may retain, copy, distribute and otherwise use Search Data for its lawful business purposes”

“cutting back features in a lot of areas, especially in the Pro tier, and doing it pretty drastically without any notice”

“They have been receiving a lot of hate on Reddit for a few weeks, since they started mass canceling Pro accounts.”

“The summary matched my recollection and a quick look at the decision itself verified it”

“I'm able to copy and paste entire sessions in Grok, GPT, Claude and Gemini. Just not in Perplexity.”

“Their 'export to pdf/markdown/doc' is a fraudulent scam and I've about 50 exports that all looked fine”

“Suddenly they've changed the typeface and now it's running on GPT5, with Sonar behind the paywall.”

“I use AI, mainly Perplexity AI, as a replacement for search engine because they all suck right now.”

“Perplexity was very very good on the surface. Rarely made an obvious blunder or error, and was fast.”

“Yes, it's now practically unusable, and anyone who paid the full price, like me, has been ripped off.”

“much more pleasant to ask perplexity, ChatGPT or Claude a question than to put yourself through the torture of conventional search”

“I really hate the current trend of not having passwords. For example perplexity doesn't have a password, just an email verification to login.”

“But some things it gets wrong, seems especially things it should understand by looking at the pictures.”

“I've found LLMs are way better than me at finding relevant threads for this kind of problem on Reddit”

“I started using Perplexity after it was recommended to me as having fewer hallucinations”

“The platform is designed for evidence-backed research, structured discovery, and source-aware reasoning.”

“Go type this into perplexity: "Are there any health studies about what exposure to pornography does to childhood development?"”

“Just ask Phind/Perplexity to explain the problem, give the solution and provide verifiable links one can check to validate.”

“I've been using Perplexity due to the way it sources the results and presents the sources”

“Perplexity Pro with any thinking model blows both out of the water in a fraction of the time, in my experience”

“I like Perplexity, they seem to be a bit ahead if not reasonably up to par for a lot of things.”

“Perplexity beats Google, ChatGPT, and Claude if you want an answer with citations and want it fast.”

“Perplexity is one of my first options for search (and superficial research) at this point.”

“Perplexity’s Research tool has basically replaced Google for me, for any search where I don’t already know the answer”
