Comment Re:I asked Perplexity why I should use it (Score 1) 25

Answer
Based on the search results provided, I do not believe there is enough information to definitively answer whether a cool refreshing Coca-Cola would feel good after using Perplexity AI. Here's a summary of the relevant details:
[2] The search result mentions that a Coca-Cola would "feel good after using Perplexity", but this appears to be a sarcastic or rhetorical statement, not a factual claim. The article is focused on Perplexity's plans to introduce native advertising, not on the user experience of Perplexity compared to drinking Coca-Cola.

Q: why should I use perplexity instead of chatgpt? I hate ads

A: Answer
Based on the search results provided, here are the key reasons why you should consider using Perplexity AI over ChatGPT:

  1. No Ads: The search results indicate that Perplexity AI is completely free to use and does not contain any ads, unlike many other AI assistants and search engines. This addresses your stated dislike of ads. [1][3]
  2. Better Search Functionality: Perplexity AI is focused on providing accurate, up-to-date information through its search capabilities, which are powered by GPT-4. It can provide detailed summaries and citations for its responses, unlike ChatGPT which may not always cite its sources. [2][3]
  3. More Transparent: Perplexity AI clearly shows the sources it used to generate its responses, allowing you to verify the information. This transparency is lacking in ChatGPT. [3]
  4. Faster Responses: The search results indicate that Perplexity AI provides responses very quickly, often within a second or two, which is faster than many other AI assistants. [3]

Contextual Understanding: Perplexity AI seems to have a better understanding of context, allowing you to ask follow-up questions that build on previous queries, making the interaction more conversational. [3]
However, the search results also suggest that ChatGPT may be better suited for open-ended, creative tasks like content generation, while Perplexity AI is more focused on providing factual, research-oriented responses. [2]
Overall, if your primary needs are fast, ad-free, and transparent search capabilities, Perplexity AI appears to be a strong alternative to ChatGPT based on the information provided. [1][2][3]

Comment Re:Dark matter (Score 1) 243

If it only interacts with regular matter by gravity, why do we not see it everywhere on earth.

Picture yourself observing (how?) the descent of an asteroid made of dark matter that somehow holds together. What happens? It falls. It reaches the ground you're standing on. It does not stop, because it can only interact with normal matter via gravitation, not electromagnetism, so it does not bounce. It continues falling. If its interaction is strong enough to result in a kind of friction, it might not settle to the center of the Earth. But it probably will.
