Hey Matt, AI is very powerful in simplification of knowledge and concepts. It can summarise very long article into short form not only that it can create it own article from scratch, it just need perfect prompt. Days are not far, when we will see prompt engineers at every corner of the world during AI regime.

That's 100 percent true. It is definitely still imperfect, but we're just at the very, very, very beginning of all of this.

Now ask it to tell you where exactly it found its sources. Because sometimes it just pretends that it has read things:) With that said, I’m pretty impressed with what it came up with!

Oh, I've definitely seen AI tools just make up stuff. For the longest time, I'd ask it about my book and it would literally just create a name. It's gotten better, though.

As far as disclosing sources, Perplexity actually includes a list of the sources that it used. It doesn't get down to chapter and verse, but it includes links to the media sources that it referred to. Pretty interesting stuff.
