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.

perplexity works better as a search engine than chatgpt would. I think perplexity works better than google does.

I've been using perplexity ai as a search engine for about a year. I don't use any pro features.

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, YouTube, 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!

When you clicked on profile, there was a custom instructions box.

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

[humphuk]

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.

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

[MichealScott]

❤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

[AmyKniss]

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

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? 😅

[karelc]

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.

[zengrz]

Does it use google or bing to search the web?

[alertbri]

Isn't there a new AI model which is supposed to outperform GPT-4 on coding?

[ktb]

I noticed more and more the YouTube 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?

[cariyaputta]

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).

[dibbstar]

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.

[sugarraysmith]

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?

[aigriffin]

Hey I just wanna say I really love your content!❤🎉😁😊

[paulywalnutz]

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
