I feel like Perplexity, just like the models it uses, is pretty good at giving general information, but isn't great with details (I know models can make things up, but still…). Undergrads and grad students might find it handy for a quick overview of a subject, but it's not very helpful for brainstorming advanced (biomedical) science, yet. Or it’s just my ignorance…
Perplexity is terrible. Most of the time the answer you get is wrong. I stopped using it. This seems like a paid ad video.
drag and drop, haha
Can you explain how AI can help to "OUTDATE" publications?
We suffer in many fields from thousands of papers which are not valid any more because science has proven them to be wrong. How do we ever get rid of such papers. (Example: corrupt HIV and Climate Hoax claims)
Loveeee perplexity!!!
Leave a like and comment if u want to get perplexity for cheap !
Im doing a group buy as well as a cheap limited offer on the yearly subscription on YOUR MAIL for 29$ instead of 200$!
Perplexity is a nice tool. It finds real documents, and generally limits its answers to those sources. This means there is much less room for hallucination.
Its built on other LLMs, so it can go off on a tangent with its own knowledge. when it does do, its less reliable. Be aware. Look to see if it goes beyond its listed sources.
It will fill in some details – from the listed sources – with its own knowledge. this is ok if they are just minor details. For example, it uses a standard easy to read style, regardless of the style of its sources.
I find that it relieves me of tedious research, and cuts thru links that go on forever.
You might say that Perplexity is the first true "knowledge engine," rather than a "weight / parameter based engine." For most LLMs, we dont have a way to verify that wts are correct, other than crude back prop and gradient descent – which is very crude but all we have – short of Perplexity.
One day all parameters in LLms will shift to real knowledge bits – Perhaps rules or semantic nodes by the millions or billions. They can be checked for accuracy, one at a time.
So Perplexity is a precursor to the day when LLMs will contain real knowledge. Its main functions:
o it finds documents
o It puts them in a standard format summary – that you can check against the found docs. Easily.
o It does not put the main points in subordinate clauses – or imitate the crappy writing habits of some authors.
o its an intelligence multiplier for humans.
o We can focus on what we are good at. Einstein: "imagination is greater than knowledge." Use our vision, dont plod thru shit work.
However
Dont think that AI will get smarter and smarter. There is speed limit to AI, its like c, the speed of light. Call it a. Its caused by a math wall and other factors. When you accelerate close to c, energy requirements go to infinity. Same with a. Energy needs become monstrous and impossible.
Would it take all the energy in the solar system to achieve and IQ of 1 million? lacking the imagination of Einstein, would it still be below humans?
Perplexity is much better than chatgpt4, however, I would recommend using paperpal or scispace for detail understanding and literature review. What do you think?
YOU should stop starting your videos with the Tripe 6 hand sign – it's just too OBVIOUS!
Once again, YOU are advocating for Big Tech…
WE are supposed to trust servers run by other companies just to get information that makes our lives easier…
Awesome tool! Very nice, even though its prime for ocums razor scientific standard reduction of big bang computed/space between .
Any day etymology will simulate convergences its just a Matter of compute lol
I think it's wonderful that when you ask Perplexities about the problem it has with its unethical use of copyright material – it tells you all about how bad they are with that and if you ask if it might threaten the future of the company, they'll tell you that too. It was fun to play around with questions about their intellectual theft and unethical business practices. Perhaps they're the next AltaVista
perplexity ai is a weak platform in the face of other ai's that are frankly useless. I don't understand why people advertise it, don't waste your money on it.
when you say keep saying delve into , I got more feeling that your video content is also made by one of the ai tools you used often 😀
I think you can ask it to provide the output without bullet points 🙂
Perplexity is simply the best AI tool out there.Absolutely amazing what the team has done
I have been using claude sonnet to do the same. And it is freakingly good. I want to compare it to perplexity. Hopefully, I will get the courage to let go another 20 dollars.
Hi Andy! Is there a trustworthy website or platform for attending upcoming workshops and conferences?
this also misses important details in paper . Sorry I had to unsubscribe from you Andy because you are promoting irresponsible AI. please just stick to basic phd advice and not LLMs.
still has issues.
If you pay for perplexity you get more pro searches and can change the AI Model.
Perplexity is so awesome. Im using it to explore hypothesis and dig into different research topics, it's so useful and just great to use 🙂
Thanks again for another awesome video!
Academically it just uses semantic scholar and Pub-med!! It doesn’t use google scholar or other academic search engines which is really a shame
Booo! Perplexity hallucinates about the very sources it cites. Attempting to use perplexity has frankly only increased the amount of work I have to do.
I find perplexity is far.more useful than chatgpt but i actually find the academic mode unusable, when i run it on literature that i know in depth it usually fails to find top references and pver half are completely different fields!
Good timing! I was looking for a paper to prove a point and scite and google scholar came up with zero.
Delve again! Noooooooo. GePeTo, get out of that body!
Just ask it to rewrite your answer without bullet points. Easy.
is it more powerful than chat GPT 4 ?
