No tf it isn’t.
Most people don’t even know what perplexity is.
well whether popular doesn't neceserally mean ungood. though I'm pretty skeptical when it comes to search engines as the amount they have to build up information wise to potentially be good is pretty extreme, it's unlikely that someone could accomplish it without actually being known
edit: oh shit, it's just AI crap.. nevermind any of my potential it's not impossible that a hidden gem would be feasilble it's AI crap. No nobody needs a search engine to bring up something that you can't verify if it's credible information or just random guesses made by what's popular on the internet... completely worthless.
kagi is actually a pretty good, quite unknown search engine. I strongly prefer it to google.
It has some pretty unsavory behind the scenes stuff going on though
wut? never heard of that, but I guess I never looked really. Unsavory how?
Mostly with the CEO lying, AI, and privacy concerns. https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html
why cant we ever just have something good.
oh well, ill be keeping my eyes open for alternatives, this is bad but still better than google I guess.
