> perplexity.ai/ specifically uses web sources to construct natural language.
I am going to guess that even though it uses the GPT language model, it works fundamentally differently than ChatGPT.
My guess is, Perplexity AI is a traditional search engine, that first finds a list of links that match your questions. And then it feeds text from those links to the GPT language model to write a summary of the results.
Whereas ChatGPT produces text based only on the trained deep neural net.
Maybe I am guessing wrong how Perplexity AI works. Maybe it works in a different manner.
It still has the exact same issues. I asked it to tell me about “Microsoft layoffs before 2022” and it confidently stated that Microsoft had no layoffs before 2022, with one of its sources even talking about the previous layoffs in 2009.
