I ask perplexity. It gives answers with sources. I check the sources, too often the answer is not backed by sources. It's better than just bullshitting without sources, but not that much. I like the direction though.

The real issue with perplexity is their dishonest crawler who does not obey the rules.

Agree, they're more on hype than other things. NGL it's still way better than copilot ...
