Good comment, agree for the most part.

>wrappers that implement proprietary algorithms can still thrive in the long run.

This is true, but they need to defend from multiple fronts. Do you believe in Perplexity long-term, or a) OpenAI moving into search, or b) Google moving their search into AI.

It's an interesting hybrid product where I suppose the winner is unclear, because it seems Perplexity has executed fast and strong thus far.

I must confess that I’ve never used Perplexity, as ChatGPT works incredibly well for me. Never felt the need to try something new, and maybe that says something about Perplexity’s future.

Ironically enough, I find Google’s AI-based search awful, so for me ChatGPT has replaced Google for the most part.

If I had to guess, I concur that the winner in this space is still unclear. And that fierce competition is very good for us as customers.
