Alfie, Thank you for sharing specific examples, that demonstrate the advantages of using perplexity over other AI models in research. I especially found it helpful that you explained how most models pull from a static database of information, whereas perplexity pulls from a dynamic open ended database. Also your accent is sexy AF.
Genini is like ChatGPT. Its a language model. Perplexity can use Gemini behind the scenes to summarize info across different links but it wont do the same thing
If you ask a question, but the answer only lies in a RUclips video, can it find that? Or if you upload a csv file, can you ask it to find what the revenue for last month was?
Perplexity does read the transcript of RUclips videos. Gor documents it can read PFFs but not sure about csvs, for that chatgpt is ptobably still the best option
In a nutshell, yes. BUT the big difference is it synthesizes information across those sources so its great for obscure questions that no single link can answer. For example, “who is the most watched basketball player with the most shoe sales”. Those two statistics could be across two different sources, but perplexity can give you the answer in one go. Its great for making detailed research quicker without having to crawl the internet manually.
While OpenAI doesn't provide any sources at all, search engines (like Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google etc.) provide only sources. Perplexity combines that, making your research a little easier. Additionally, you can ask Perplexity e.g. to verify the sources, or critique its own answer that way making it "better" (more complete). Additionally one can ask for a certain output format (e.g. MarkDown etc.) thus saving time.
Just try it out to see that your assumption is wrong. Perhaps you are referring to the current practice of all AI providers to censor what may be shown and how things should be framed. That can't be helped, I'm afraid, as long as there are only "western" AI providers who are trying hard to impose their world views (aka bias) on the rest of the world. Perplexity, I _guess_, does something similar with their search results by means of super/system/admin prompts to make the answers politically correct.
I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Very informative. Thank you
I absolutely love perplexity!
Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

I found your video asking to perplexity what is perplexity

How does it compare to Gemini?

is it always so slow?
Depends what “slow” means to you i guess
Isn’t this really just an interface that draws its information from Open AI and Google?

Can EDIT YOUR RUclips Videos?
As I know ... its NOT capable of searching by it self ... only filtered infos are available given by the admins ...

NO FULL TUTORIAL is 18 minutes....still good stuff though
What else would you like to learn about? Helps me with ideas for future videos!
Perplexity makes far too many errors for it's undeserved monthly $20.
Based on ur presentation i find it useless tool
Ive found myself using it everyday. For low value answers i need its helpful. But for deep research i still use google
TY.
