For over two decades, the word “Google” has been synonymous with online searches. It’s more than a brand; it’s a verb deeply ingrained in our digital lexicon. Can you google that?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, as technology evolves, so do our tools. In this era of AI innovation, it’s time to reevaluate how we find information online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of us have heard of revolutionary AI chatbot ChatGPT, but there are many other tools out there that are worth trying out — particularly when it comes to search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, I’ll discuss one of the most promising ones, Perplexity.ai. I myself am now using it in combination with ChatGPT for most searches, and am not using Google very much anymore except for basic searches like “how late is the local library open”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s a new world! I’ll talk about it below, and explain why you should consider trying some new search systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Enter ChatGPT, a revolutionary AI Large Language Model (LLM)<\/a> created by OpenAI<\/a>. Even at its 3.5 version (available for free), ChatGPT is impressive, but its full iteration, ChatGPT-4 (the paid “Plus” offering), is a game-changer. This chat bot isn’t just about finding information; it’s about understanding and generating it, at an extremely high level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Imagine asking a question about Renaissance art, 20th-century economics, or even your favorite recipes. ChatGPT explores into its vast knowledge base to provide insightful, ad-free answers with a clean interface and no nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s like having a personal researcher at your fingertips. And really, it works best if you treat it as a real person (say please and thank you — it helps!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n ChatGPT isn’t merely a search engine; it’s a knowledge and task engine. It excels in areas where traditional search engines falter, offering in-depth answers and performing tasks that extend beyond mere information retrieval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it has its limits, especially with breaking news or recent events outside its training data. That’s where Perplexity.AI steps in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While ChatGPT made headlines over 2023, Perplexity.AI<\/a> has been the quiet achiever. This AI system integrates the capabilities of language models like ChatGPT and Claude 2, focusing on knowledge retrieval and presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEmbracing the AI Revolution: ChatGPT and Perplexity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
