https://www.perplexity.ai/ has been my search engine for a few weeks now... Not bad at all
Discussion
I like perp. Things that would take me an eternity on Google can be solved in 10 min on perp
Yes it is very good in fact, I have tried it in some situations to search for specific things in local places, for example to look at bus schedules between towns for example and it works, it is brutal.
I just used it to find this meme in one shot:
ok, that's my customized version but perp got me the original
Definitely useful xD
the bus timetables here in Madeira are like that, i am probably gonna search using perp for that at some point, mostly i have encompassed the routes i need to know at this point though
gonna keep that one in mind in case i really get a problem finding stuff
has someone built an LLM trained on tech troubleshooting sites like stackexchange and such? that would be really useful
There are some trained models for coding, there are some you can try on the perplexity playground, which also gives you access to a brutal service labs.perplexity.ai . Other than that the search engine is pretty good at finding information from different sources and giving you a summary of everything, it saves a lot of time when searching, it can even show you info from reddit which is now totally closed if you don't have an account.
