Interesting Articles from Perplexity AI

Preview:

Perplexity AI is now one of my two recommended free AI services. The other is You.com. One of these should probably replace most of your searches for faster answers, less advertising and no tracking.

I've been exploring AI chatbots to use in addition to or instead of a search engine. I wasn't impressed with DuckDuckGo's entry into this market, but am very impressed with both You.com and Perplexity.ai. They are my goto search engines now, though I also use DuckDuckGo. Both these services offer non-tracking, free, limited versions, of their paid products. I'm pleased with their free versions.

What's wrong with old-fashioned search?

Usually, I don't want a list of websites that talk about a topic. I normally want the answer to a question, like "How many ounces is 232 grams?", or "What did Plato's alarm clock look like?". These bots provide a summary, pointed directly to my question, from a dozen or more sites.

In addition to providing a free search bot, Perplexity also has their bots comb the news for interesting articles. These are available on their website by clicking discover on the left side menu. They then combine them, write a script, and produce a great little podcast called Discover Daily by Perplexity. It is read by ElevenLabs' shockingly great AI voices. I don't think a human hand is really involved.

Perplexity also offers mobile apps.

Here are some of the articles I found interesting last month.

Rolls-Royce develops a Nuclear Micro-Reactor
Plato's alarm clock. To wake up his students for morning lectures.
Xiaomi's Autonomous Phone Factory can produce 60 phones a minute without human intervention. Operating without human intervention, the facility employs advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies to manage the entire production process autonomously. No heat or light or people needed.
