I can't tell you, but over the last year, as a consumer, I see consistent oscillation up and down in quality. Just today I noticed a big change in Perplexity, where it took an unusually incorrigible stance and even flagrantly lied to me. If any value comes of this, it's to always remember to not get too comfortable, friendly or reliant, because these tools are not, have not, and never will be truly for us, but will continuously erode in some critical way for the little consumer while improving for the big ones. Maybe something open source will save us little people and provide something stalwart. I hope so. But I won't expect anything from the big brands beyond ephemeral wows here and there, until they stamp them out and reserve them for the elite. Probably not helpful. Sorry for the rant. I certainly do see quality variations and I'm not certain why, other than being convinced it's never noble intention.
