Yes, I worked at one of those pre-covid. I remember my colleague leaving her laptop and work phone on her desk at the end of the day around 4pm. We also had small offices with 2-4 people in a historical building right in the city center.

Then we merged with a bigger company, their culture ate us, and all the best people left, the rest are sitting in an open office at the edge of the city. Funny enough, I worked on the merger as one of the leads, I was so happy getting an oportunity like that while young. Now looking back I realized that it was a bad thing we have done (not that we had a choice), and the end result is worse for employees, customers, and even shareholders.

Yeah, I use it instead of search, as that has gone to shit years ago due to all the SEO garbage, and now it’s even worst with AI generated SEO garbage.

At least this way I get fast results, and mostly accurate on the high level. But I agree that if I try to go deeper, it just makes up stuff based on 9 yrs old reddit posts.

I wish somebody built an AI model that prioritized trusted data, like encyclopedias, wiki, vetted publication, prestige news portals. It would be much more useful, and could put Google out of business. Unfortunately, Perplexity is not that

One thing I don’t get: why the fuck LLM’s don’t use wikipedia as a source of info? Would help them coming up with less bullshit. I experimented around with some, even perplexity that searches the web and gives you links, but it always has shit sources like reddit or SEO optimized nameless news sites
