#42I have turned bearish on Perplexity recently, this confirms it
It's clear as to where Perplexity is eventually is going, and it will likely get acquired by Amazon. Here's why: [0] [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41121821
One thing about Amazon is that I have never seen them overpay for an acquisition (as in they really penny pinch and negotiate hard). So Perplexity’s high price tag may turn Amazon off

#43AKA Bing Search in ChatGPT. So it is not it's own search engine and is still using Bing for its results just like the rest of them.
Reference? This isn't mentioned anywhere and certainly is not implied.

#44I asked it the current weather in my area and the temperature was off by 23 degrees F.

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
Perplexity is a really terrible name for a product and that alone will hold it back from being a real competitor.
It's not like ChatGPT (or ChatGTP as half of people call it) is much better.
ChatGPT isn't a great name, but it's easy to say, spell, and remember. And at this point, a lot of people just know them as OpenAI, which is a great name.
Perplexity sounds like a parody startup name from the Silicon Valley TV show. Way too complicated and unnatural.

#46Hah, OpenAI is becoming an ads business too. So much for something new, same old funding model for every centralized platform on the web.
If they are making billions from subscriptions, why on earth would they want to switch to an ads business?
Re: ChatGPT Search
#47I gave it a quick spin and my initial impression is much worse than perplexity.

Anyone can compete as long as they have a sufficiently robust crawl dataset as a foundation, no?
A fossilized snapshot will only get them so far, and sites are increasingly opting to block AI-related crawlers. Apparently about a quarter of the top 1000 sites already block GPTBot: https://originality.ai/ai-bot-blocking I guess they could be using Bing as their search backend, which would mostly get around the blocking issue (except for searching Reddit which blocks Bingbot now).
If it ends up anywhere near as popular as Google, those sites will have a financial incentive to allow the crawlers.
The average person just does not discover content without the search engine recommending it.
Re: ChatGPT Search
#49How long until advertisements are subtly introduced? I didn’t notice any specific brand of limoncello recommended in their demo.
Honestly, if I can disable ads by paying them, then I'm ok with it.
Google will suck all your data even if you pay, and link the entire earth of services to your identity.
For now, chatgpt doesn't care, and I already pay for what they provide.
May they kill Google.
20 years old me would freak out hearing me that, they used to be my heroes.
