According to Perplexity, that's just Google Search with some OpenAI sprinkled on top... So yeah, I'm gonna hate on it lol.

What I like about it is that it's trained on lots of different sources (including, but not limited to Google, and Bing search results). It then strips out the ads, SEO blog spam, and other nonsense and tries to return the most relevant info for my query. It is leagues better than pure Google. Also, it uses its own LLM unrelated to OpenAI.

A bit unfortunate that I got downvoted for having an opinion and sharing it.
