Agreed. Highly recommend giving it a go for anyone who hasn't tried it. I'm a heavy (paid) chat gpt user, but for anything that I know in advance the answer will benefit from a web search (because it needs recent data), I use perplexity.
How do you reconcile having to use multiple apps to get to the information you want?
I've been using Perplexity for the past 3 months on a regular basis and it has replaced DDG for most use cases. It's really nice to have answers directly.

My beef with perplexity is that there is no way to increase the number of uses of large models. People keep telling me that I can use the smaller models, but I really can't. I'm using this for work and those things are toys which just game bench marks. I'd love to give them an api key from openai or anthropic and get uses to my hearts content like phind does.

Huh? I haven’t seen any limits yet regardless of model choice

I guess I'll withhold my cynicism until I try this. I kind of use chatgpt as a search engine anyway, so seems like a reasonable direction.
Too bad it's only a waitlist. iFixit apparently published fake repair guides [0] that then got crawled by ChatGPT for training [1] [0] https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Data+Connector++Replacement/147... [1] https://chatgpt.com/share/e52dc4dd-77e6-48a5-a7ca-77e3dfa39e...
So... more vaporware? :( Whatever happened to that new voice interface they "announced" back in May? I wish companies would stick to "releasing" things rather than "announcing" them...
Maybe it's released to paid users only? The only thing missing from the original announcement is voice interrupting the ongoing response (well and the Scarlett Johansson voice)
> Getting answers on the web can take a lot of effort, often requiring multiple attempts to get relevant results. Don't get me wrong, search has become extremely problematic, ... but how much effort does it take really? Compared to writing a letter, reading a map, walking half a mile etc? The google results for "music festivals in boone north carolina august" are completely adequate. If not then you search again, sur…
Many days or weeks infact
The provided examples don't illustrate the problem properly. Let's say you're new to a problem domain but don't know it's a highly specialized domain. So you don't know the keywords to search but have a vague sense of what needs to be accomplished.
If the new tool can make sense of your vague problem and point you in right direction, it would be great.
Don't know if this is actually a $600B sized problem.

I've definitely been using it for more than a month now. My kid loves using it as an impromptu space knowledge pop quiz game with a simple system prompt. Maybe it's released to paid users only?

The fact that OpenAI is releasing a fancy UI instead of an improved model says something. I'm afraid GPT-5 won't be there any time soon.
C’mon. OpenAI is a large company now with 1000+ employees. You’re really going to air this hot take? - if they release a model “they’re just releasing models without use cases” - if they release safety guardrails “they are just doing this to avoid launching models” - if the release has a waitlist “they’re losing their velocity” - if they launch without a waitlist “they weren’t considering the safety implications” - i…
