No tf it isn’t.

Most people don’t even know what perplexity is.

well whether popular doesn't neceserally mean ungood. though I'm pretty skeptical when it comes to search engines as the amount they have to build up information wise to potentially be good is pretty extreme, it's unlikely that someone could accomplish it without actually being known

edit: oh shit, it's just AI crap.. nevermind any of my potential it's not impossible that a hidden gem would be feasilble it's AI crap. No nobody needs a search engine to bring up something that you can't verify if it's credible information or just random guesses made by what's popular on the internet... completely worthless.

kagi is actually a pretty good, quite unknown search engine. I strongly prefer it to google.

Perplexity cites its sources though, so you can just read those when you suspect it's halloucinating.
