Been using Perplexity AI quite a bit lately for random queries, like travel suggestions.

So I started wondering what random things people are using it for to help with daily tasks. Do you use it more than Google/etc?

Also if anyone is paying for Pro versions? Thinking if it’s worth it paying for Perplexity AI Pro or not.

    I use LLM bots mostly

    • as websearch - e.g. “list sites containing growing conditions for pepper plants”;
    • for practical ideas - e.g. “suggest me a savoury spice mix containing ginger”

    I never use them for the info itself. It’s foolish to trust a system that behaves like a specially irrational assumer. (It makes shit up, it has the verbal intelligence of a potato, and fails to follow simple logic.)

    I’m not using any Pro version.

    For reference: nowadays I’m using ChatGPT 3.5 and Claude 1.2, both through DuckDuckGo. I used Gemini a fair bit, but ditched it - not just for privacy, but because Gemini’s “tone” rubs me off the wrong way.
