Even Google Gemini 1.5 Pro is Not Good Enough – yet!
I was a diehard Google Search addict back in the old days.
Before Generative AI.
Then I met ChatGPT – but its value in fact-finding, especially about recent events, was poor.
Then, other LLMs came onto the scene, and I became a die-hard follower of GPT-4.
But then I discovered a product that had what I needed – fact-finding – with sources.
As a writer, you need to make sure your claims have backup, and in my stories, I make some pretty bold claims.
In the past, I had to do a lot of hard work to back up the claims –
But now – this customized, natural language processing expert LLM does the research for me.
It even gives me the sources of the information so that I can verify the claims – making sure its not hallucinating (just to be on the safe side).
Providing online sources for the information makes it a game-changer.
As, also, does its sophisticated reasoning capabilities.

Conclusion
Google has to up its game if it wants to remain the king of search.
Right now, Perplexity.ai beats it hollow as far as UX is concerned.
Quite simply put – no competition.
The advantage of AI answering all your questions with five sources plus where it got its information from cannot be beat!
Unless Google comes up with something better.
And yes – the entire Internet depends upon Google Search.
We have SEO, keyword planning, and Google Analytics, all built upon the secret mechanisms of the search engine.
AI has already started to eat into that.
And this is just the beginning.
Google has to make a choice.
Integrate LLM deeply into its search offerings and risk ire from those who depend upon it:
Or move with the times and start replacing search with LLMs.
If you want to be competitive, you have no choice.
Will it destroy the Internet as we know it?
Perhaps!
But there is no stopping technological advancement.
And Perplexity.ai is miles ahead.
