You're over-representing the usefulness here. On topics where traditional search reaches a dead end, you will find the AI citations to be the same ones you might have found, except that upon checking, they were clearly misread or misrepresented. Dangerous and a waste of time.

It's much more helpful on popular topics where summarization itself is already high quality and sufficient.

I dunno. I think of it like a recommendation engine on Netflix. I don’t like everything Netflix tells me to watch. Same with perplexity. I don’t agree with everything it suggests me. People need to stop expecting the computer to think for them and instead see it as a tool to amplify their own thinking.
