I don't know why everyone keeps comparing Perplexity to ChatGPT. Perplexity is a Google killer, not a ChatGPT killer. As a chatbot, Perplexity sucks, but that's not its purpose. Its purpose is to make searching the internet vastly more simple, and bypass the hallucination factor by providing links to the sources that it pulled the data from, so that you can verify yourself whether the response was accurate.
Nice. You're right, they are entering using the AI hype, I do expect a browser for mass use soon.😮 Google is doing a USA, well it would, both run outta LANGLEY, VG.
Hi Corbin, Another great review! Perplexity has both custom instructions and AI Prompts under Collections (similar to custom GPTs). Pros: (compared to ChatGPT) better user interface (both web version and mobile app), 5 AI models (including GPT4, Claude2, and Gemini Pro), multiple points of focus (including writing-only, Wolfram Alpha, RUclips, and Reddit), it's accurate, has a realtime internet connection and sites the sources. Cons: Some of the functionality is only available on the web version for now, like uploading files, other than images, voice (read out loud), the custom AI Prompts are only up to 1500 characters, no actions (API), and there is no store yet. I'm paying for both right now, but if Perplexity were to add the missing functionally, then to me, it'd be the clear winner (it's already replaced Google search entirely, because the search results don't have any ads). I know this was your first video on the matter, so can you also do a more in-depth one soon? Thanks in advance!
No it doesn't... I don't like being answered by a system.. I like to do my own research.. If it's a simple question like the height of some mountains then okay, but best nearby restaurant,then that's a different thing
I’ve found Perplexity to be great with: research with cited sources, the copilot/follow-up question feature, speed, and the ability to switch AI engines. IMO - it’s not a replacement for ChatGPT. I received a PRO membership because of being first 100k to preorder Rabbit device. I believe Perplexity will be running the device. Corbin - great videos. Thanks
❤in collections there is custom instructions which is called ai prompt if you checkout in it. which is great but i agree its a subjective/objective choice for people working in this kinda departments for them else always chatgpt is the winner
I was about to mention it also: collections, while not being as flexible as custom GPTs, have similar functionality. I've built following use case: when I post a link or a copy of a tweet into my collection, it analyzes the input and creates a summary with elements and tone I have defined within the AI prompt instructions of the collection. The advantages are: it can browse the web and it provides me with original sources. Also, I like the follow-up questions and the fact, that if you copy the content, it gives you back a well formated text incl. source list. Try to paste it into Notion or Word.
I've just copied and pasted my a bit complicated prompt (half JSON, half regular text), asking for many things including writing to me in Middle Dutch or New Early German. On GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 it works like a charm, giving me each time amazing answers, what makes learning languages an unbelievable experience. The response from Perplexity starts with: "I understand your request." but the following with short explanation why it can not be done at all.
I noticed more and more the RUclips AI people are talking this up. I want to love it... I've tried it and it just seems to get confused more often than not. Follow-up questions are virtually useless because it seems to forget any kind of context from the first question or questions. I don't know. Am I missing something? Does the emperor have no clothes?
Interesting, I will test it out and see if I come to the same conclusion. Understanding the previous context of the chat is very important for these kinds of models.
The problem I have with your presentation is that you focused too much on image generation and poo-pooing the Discovery and recommended features. They may. be annoying, but if you just ignore them, Perplexity is very powerful. You didn't delve into the focus feature much or what it offers, nor did you compare this Perplexity to ChatGPT4 when it comes to using the same prompts and comparing output. Also, Perplexity offers the choice of breakingdown down your topic into areas. For image creation, I use Midjourney anyways, so I'm not concerned about the image generation feature.
Perplexity is a replacement for Google search and Bing.... Comparing Perplexity and ChatGPT doesn't justify the comparison bcoz both of them differ a lot.... Perplexity is more advantageous to those who want to research by browsing the internet....
Chatgpt is not a browser or search engine like Google...it's a real AI It has its own mind to think and create and develop using interactions nad and Internet.
I don't think you have research Perplexity for this video very well at all, it is very powerful, you could also probably use it for coding via the Focus - Writing option. The Collections is also very powerful, almost like custom GPT's, where you could really hone in on a "System Prompt" and get it to do exact formats etc.
The UI/UX looks suspiciously like Suno. Especially the Discovery tab. Wonder if they're made by the same string puller (white label showelware sweatshops).
gpt works better for many things, but using them together is epic. but i cant justify paying for both. So i pay for chatgpt, and just using the base model for perplexity to use as a search engine works nicely. if i need more depth in a topic i go to gpt
Just to echo what some of the others have said. Custom instructions are in collections - and in the profile. TBH "collections" confuses me. Is it a way of grouping chats - or a type of custom GPT? I am not sure if the collections customer instructions combine or replace the profile prompt. Discovery strikes me as an odd add-on too. However, the main functionality of Perplexity as a search tool is great - it is my go-to.
This guy (Riley Brown) did a good job explaining collections that helped me understand it better: ruclips.net/video/aphHCBSTx7Q/видео.htmlsi=qzOPJGQlpQkSST6w And this guy (Wes Roth) gave me some additional info. ruclips.net/video/1JdpmsHJdBY/видео.htmlsi=7Garv1_WIJtGG0q3 It looks very promising.
Hi Corbin. I like your videos but an AI language model is so much more than a coding aid. I use it to help tutor stem sciences. It can be a companion to help us broaden our world. It's so much fun. An interesting question would be something like, "Can you explain how it may be the entropy gained from the sun even more than the energy that has driven the evolution of life on Earth." Ask these about anything you want to learn. It a great first start for diving into things we want to grok.
Did bro say "based off my years of experience with ChatGPT"? ChatGPT was release 11/2022 and it is barely the beginning of 2/2024 at the time this video was published.
So where will the answers come from for this app when the source sites fail from lack of ad dollars. No one is going to pay to advertise on a site where 80% of the hits are by bots. Also how many people are going to actually check the accuracy of the information, especially if the answer sits well with them?
Supposedly perplexity doesn’t editorialize. Not true. The tone is far from “just the facts”. Nice to not have all the ads though. In many ways perplexity is better but it’s still biased and probably censored.
3:44 you just skipped the clarifying questions it prompted you for and started criticising the suggestions - dude, don't make a comparison video until you've spent time with the service!
chatgpt is falling behind, they are about to lose me if they dont ship some good stuff. I'm holding out untill the next update but i might just switch to perplexity.

True! I think so!
Totally agree & keep wondering the same
So what does chatgpt do th3n? What's a chatbox?
GPT 4 version of Perplexity Ai is bad?

In depth video would be super
I will look into this!
Does Perplexity have an @Mention type functionality like ChatGPT does?
@@webcafeai thanks Corbin
perplexity works better as a search engine than chatgpt would. I think perplexity works better than google does.
True, but as a chat thing I find it rather snooty and just repeats itself when you try probing or questioning it
would Perplexity still be working without google?
@@bigglyguy8429 Well if you select "writing" as your focus, than it works quiet well and stops the repeating
No it doesn't... I don't like being answered by a system.. I like to do my own research.. If it's a simple question like the height of some mountains then okay, but best nearby restaurant,then that's a different thing
Actually they’re both neutral!👍

I've been using perplexity ai as a search engine for about a year. I don't use any pro features.
When you clicked on profile, there was a custom instructions box.
I've just copied and pasted my a bit complicated prompt (half JSON, half regular text), asking for many things including writing to me in Middle Dutch or New Early German. On GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 it works like a charm, giving me each time amazing answers, what makes learning languages an unbelievable experience. The response from Perplexity starts with: "I understand your request." but the following with short explanation why it can not be done at all.
Try again using the Experimental engine from Rewrite.
I noticed more and more the RUclips AI people are talking this up. I want to love it... I've tried it and it just seems to get confused more often than not. Follow-up questions are virtually useless because it seems to forget any kind of context from the first question or questions. I don't know. Am I missing something? Does the emperor have no clothes?

You can organize your folders to do the same as collections.

Perplexity is more advantageous to those who want to research by browsing the internet....
Shut up Kunt ... Perplexity will never beat Google
What does chatgpt do then?
@@InnerRise This guy is a Tool . Judging from his Profile Picture.
Chatgpt is not a browser or search engine like Google...it's a real AI
It has its own mind to think and create and develop using interactions nad and Internet.

I was surprised to find that it provided better code assistance than ChatGPT!

Hey Corbin - what video editing software do you use to get yourself in-picture of the video recording
I use OBS!

Hey I just wanna say I really love your content!❤🎉😁😊
Glad you enjoy it!
@@webcafeai Yes I do!
Did bro say "based off my years of experience with ChatGPT"? ChatGPT was release 11/2022 and it is barely the beginning of 2/2024 at the time this video was published.
😂 I thought the same thing
Has anyone noticed that when you download images from ChatGPT they are not coming out as PNG? They are downloading as WEBP files. Or is it just me? 😅
ChatGPT hasn’t been out for “years”, it was released November 30, 2022
So where will the answers come from for this app when the source sites fail from lack of ad dollars. No one is going to pay to advertise on a site where 80% of the hits are by bots. Also how many people are going to actually check the accuracy of the information, especially if the answer sits well with them?
Apples to oranges. Researcher vs writer/coder
Does it use google or bing to search the web?
bing
Isn't there a new AI model which is supposed to outperform GPT-4 on coding?
"based on my years of experience with chatgpt" - chatgpt release date: 30 November 2022, barely 1 year
What about claude 3?
dropping anything soon?
Just asked Perplexity if we could play a role-playing game? Nope, "as a large la..." Asked GPT "Absolutely!" and asked for the details.
Hit the "Rewrite" button and select the "Experimental" or other engines.

Discover I think is random.
perplexity sucks!
