It has been a constant good source for TitleIDs (for the steam compat folder when modding on linux), for Steam frame Hopium (when they updated FEX or Lepton or the Stick driver again) and looking at the patch history of games.
I got a year of free Perplexity Pro with my Revolut sub. At first I really, really liked it. It felt faster, better, and smarter than (free) ChatGPT. But instead of getting better (or at worst staying at the same level), it seems like it gets worse and worse instead.
For a few months now I have it that it randomly switches to another language for like 1–2 words (most often Japanese) mid sentence.
It feels like it got worse at referencing earlier parts of the same convo.
For example, I asked it to compare a 9‑year‑old flagship phone chip to the newest model of the smartwatch the same company produces. I used the short version of the phone name (left away the company name since I thought the relation would be obvious enough).
It then asked what I meant by the short version, if I meant the watch of a competitor, if I meant some random vacuum robot, or if I meant something entirely different.
I then said the full phone name and it gave me back a summarization of “Is Phone Name still usable as a daily driver in 2026?”
Something I never asked.

Same experience here. I think I started using Perplexity for researching stuff before ChatGPT had search and particularly before I had access to Pro mode. Then I experienced the very same thing as you, the Perplexity experience got faster, but also quality degraded a lot, until eventually ChatGPT + search tool + Pro just completely overtook it. Some queries might take 20-30 minutes to fully complete, but then the results are also really good and extensive.
I still remember when my bank wanted me to run Android 9 instead of my Android 15 rom (without root) on my Samsung S8 because "muh security!!"
Funnily enough, the only way to hide those detections was to Root my phone...
And i still remember when i had an appointment there, they wanted to see something in my Bank app, i opened it (and i assume it had an update since i then last used it) and a big "THIS DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED. ROOT IS NOT SUPPORTED" poped up
But was as simple as readding the bank app to my root hiders.
