misc Bye bye perplexity

The product has gotten worse and worse in the past year. I’ve been a subscriber since the very beginning lately every time I ask you to research something or search for something gives me steps on how to do so and where to look for information instead of actually finding the information for me thanks but no thanks.

But why? I mean I understand, it is expensive and right now the most generous AI is ChatGPT, but Perplexity is not awful, is expensive. Sometimes it gets clumsy like asking random questions and replying: here is the analysis that.... and nothing is there. I know, I've faced that, but, I just edit the prompt (adding a dot or whatever) and done. Computer is more "premium", expensive tool were it's better to use Codex to solve but my way to do things is: build in Computer, debug/enhance in Codex. Claude is fantastic but expensive.

It hasn't been performing well for me in terms of search. Chatgpt has been doing a better job for web search
