This has been a gamechanger for me. There's no going back to 10 links. In all these months of use, there's been a single time when it "made up" a wrong answer putting 2 info together when it shouldn't have. Google/DDG have almost disappeared in my usage now.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Perplexity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Perplexity</span></a></p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@shriramk" class="u-url mention">@<span>shriramk</span></a></span> I agree with your assessment; I don't think that's a given. </p><p>Business reasons within large organizations are often conflicting pulls of opposing forces. If I were to guess, I think this is more of an industry-wide emerging behavior (it's not just Google turning search results into AI slop, it takes two to tango) rather than a single company's conscious mandate.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@monkey1" class="u-url mention">@<span>monkey1</span></a></span> I currently pay $20/month to Raycast, which gives me access to a whole bunch of models. I miss out on some newest/greatest features from (say) OpenAI as a result (I think), but that's fine. I like being able to switch models, so I moved from $20/mo to OpenAI to Raycast.</p><p>I'm not qualified to comment on free access. I just don't believe it can be free in ANY way that isn't EVEN worse than our current state of affairs.</p><p><a href="https://www.raycast.com/blog/more-ai-models" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">raycast.com/blog/more-ai-models</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
