    I've learned from this video that I'm not the only one who stares blankly and nods his head approvingly when someone says something at a level of complexity I can't grasp. I see others find that tactic useful too!

    I tried Perplexity. It's painfully bad. It confuses simple questions. I asked if Perplexity uses Chat GPT and it responded no it doesn't use ChatCPT it uses OpenAI's ChatGPT 3.0 model. The thing he's talking about, which is providing correct answers without perfect questions is exactly what it is failing spectacularly at. It's success is fully dependant on OpenAI, not Perplexity.
