It's often good to approach what llm said as a guidance, and not as ground truth.

You can ask follow up questions or point to potential feasibility and it will change its answer.

Yes, but. I asked Perplexity Pro the same fact question (sports) three days in a row after correcting its error the first day and having the correction acknowledged with a promise to get it right in the future. Same error on second day, same promise. Third day: correct. Perhaps it needs to be in the "Slow" classroom....

perhaps we should stop personifying organized dirt

It is "grounded in reality" and changes its answer like the weather.

No, Claude, etm are for "Entertainment purposes only", as listed in their TOS.

You know, like the same for horoscopes and psychics.

I've never used Perplexity Pro, but I would expect the exact same outcome from Claude, as I don't have cross-session memory enabled.

If you do have cross-session memory enabled, I agree this is not glowing performance. If you don't, then I think it's working exactly as intended.

I just asked if cross-session memory is enabled on my account: it replied that it's still being rolled out.

Perplexity still exists?

I just got major Dotcom vibes

"Guidance" that's often wrong and that will change if I ask a follow-up question? Wow where can I send my money??

I'm not sure even treating it as a guidance is the best approach, generally you should challenge it a lot (which is what CoT kind of emulates), you never know what it is confabulating and when it is correct.
