Seeing a lot of people recently saying perplexity has the potential to compete neck-and-neck with Google in the search engine market. What's your opinion on this? - What makes perplexity unique? - Isn't it just another GPT wrapper? I heard about it just a couple of days ago and I'm kinda "perplexed". It does count as a search engine but it's not like those typical search engines that I'm used to seeing(Google, Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo etc). To me, it feels more like GPT summarising a topic or a query. Am I missing something?

Google has variety of knowledge about a specific topic on the other hand perplexity shows only a few answers of the question asked by the users.The users which need variety of knowledge about a specific topic should prefer google but a person who wants exact answer of his problem could refer to perplexity. If talking about myself I prefer google more than perplexity.

Firstly it isn't a ChatGPT copy. It it can give response to the latest news as well. What makes it unique that it scans all the website and presents the answer to your question. You don't have to look here and there for it. (Even google does that but google only shows the exact words from a website) It feels like a summary but that gives the desired output as well. This is why even i Stopped using google.

Why do our Indian software developers fail to create Chromium-based web browsers or develop a separate privacy-centric search engine? Just look at search engines and browsers like DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Qwant, Baidu, Yandex, Firefox, and many others.
