It really helps to switch sometimes when there's been a "model influx", like we had the past month-and-half. Try something else. The commercial products are constantly copying each other's successes to try and gain the upper hand.
Example: In terms of commercial chatbot products I found that plain free Grok 4 fast currently (the last few weeks) blows Perplexity Pro out of the water on basic facts accumulation, interpretation and explanation. Like for example, Perplexity could give me some link leads in the footnotes, but Grok incorporated these much better into the answer it gave me, for the same question, and seemed to be much more aware of non-frontpage information (In this case I was asking about the Colombian debt swaps of this year)
Interesting. I haven't used it for this. How do you do that practically? Do you ask about products you were looking to buy or do you let it recommend you? Something else?
Thanks, I'll try Grok. It was good, but I deleted my X account, so it went with that. I think we can now create a Grok account without having X account? I can say that Perplexity is like a hype too, and I made a wrong purchase. Still, it is what it is for general things, it's fine.

Like for example, I love stargazing, but what if I'm not sure how will be the weather of the area where I'll be there to watch the sky? Cloudy? Clear? It matters a lot because to escape light pollution, I try to go different areas, and I can ask ChatGPT or any other AI to look for weather in those areas and what time is best to view? (I prefer ChatGPT as its search function is good enough, and explanation is better and straight forward.) It can even help you plan your day if you tell your situations (like if you have an exam and need to cover topics, it will help you from where to start and how I can finish a lot of stuff in time). When I'm purchasing groceries and if I'm confused whether this food item will be healthy for me, I just give the AI picture of its labels, and it gives me an idea of what I can expect. It helps in cooking also, like I tell what stuff is in the fridge and what I can make from that stuff. There is so much you can do from AI, just see it as a tool.
