> For finding information: Perplexity How is this better than ChatGPT?

• ethanbond 3y ago
  It's better than ChatGPT in pretty much every possible way. The two that are most important and least subjective: Up to date information and cited sources. Other more subjective things: fewer hallucinations (I have yet to encounter a factual error in Perplexity, and I do check the source on anything that seems questionable) and the follow-on question suggestions are very useful. To be clear, by "finding information," I'm mostly referring to factual historical or current event information about the real world, i.e. not reference information for writing code. For the usecase I'm describing, I think it's frankly silly to use ChatGPT over Perplexity.
