Can This A.I.-Powered Search Engine Replace Google?
Even though Perplexity isn’t perfect, it’s very good. And while I’m not ready to break up with Google entirely, I’m hopeful that A.I.-powered search engines like Perplexity could loosen Google’s grip on the search market
Perplexity doesn’t return a list of links. Instead, it scours the web and uses A.I. to write a summary of what it finds. These answers are annotated with links to the sources used.

hayo,

@michellemanafy the bar to replace google as a search engine is getting pretty low. Nevertheless, I tried it and the results are pretty bad.

@hayo Unfortunately: So are Google's. It has been years since it was a good search tool. I love that perplexity aids with query refinement and cites sources. In any case, we need alternatives to Google!

hayo,

@michellemanafy oh I definitely agree with the need for Galternatives.

@hayo @michellemanafy i hope Perplexity's exit-strategy is not being bought by one of the big tech platforms but instead building further on their product and business model, making money will be a challenge.
