Perplexity - Ask Anything for Negative User Reviews

✓ SO SLOW AND “UNABLE TO SEARCH”I’ve been using this for about a month now. worked very well for 3 weeks, made it my go to ai. however this last week, it has just been so slow, taking about 15 seconds to get an answer, and in some cases waiting 15 seconds and i get a prompt telling me it wasn’t able to search. NEEDS AN UPDATE ASAP!!!! i’ve given it one star to raise awareness of this issue..Nugget121Version: 2.4.4

✓ Latest Updates trash utilizationIt used to be very good. Now it's just like Google Search, but not as accurate. I'm moving to other apps. I see no reason to use Perplexity as it's links are hard to use when you want even more data. They are now also placing "suggestions" just like Google Search. I do not want suggestions, I want answers. And Perplexity is not as good as Google in providing you with information. Next "paid" or "suggested" ads will probably show up with every question. It's bad enough seeing what they think we must be interested in. As not 1 of their suggestions has been accurate..George OrrVersion: 2.16.0

✓ Poor use of iPad space, good LLMPerplexity is one of my favorite LLMs. It tends to provide accurate information with less hallucinations than some of the others, and it automatically cites sources which helps a lot. The iPad app though…incredible bad use of space. Why does the background image stay static, and I’m forced to type and read in a 1/3 screen pop up box? The background is useless and the pop up is SUPER annoying because if you accidentally click/tap out of it while you’re writing a query (but haven’t submitted it yet), everything typed is lost..BradleythegeekVersion: 2.16.0

✓ Omg 6+ content distressing and violent, cant helpThe interface occasionally malfunctions, such as the keyboard sticking on the screen, making it difficult to use the "go" button. Additionally, many interfaces are not performing as well as expected, particularly when completing tasks like creating a 500-word story and translating it. There are also strict measures in place that make it next to impossible to write a story with violent elements outside of the Disney spectrum. It's important to note that any content outside of the elementary school range would soon be distressing and violent content..VitaliVersion: 2.10.1

✓ SensitiveThis app is ridiculous. You would assume a person is responding because Its almost as if it gets offended. It asked for the population of the trans community in India. I was genuinely curious about it and it told me basically to worry about health care for trans and treating them fairly. I kept asking and finally I asked if there were no statistics on the population and it finally generated an answer. Then I asked if some women wore a front Wedgie ( I don’t want to refer to it as a camel t*e just in case it’s inappropriate) but I asked if some women wore a front wedgie as a fashion statement or on purpose and again it told me it was inappropriate and that it is not my place to judge women. Excuse me I am a woman. I cant ask about things I’m genuinely curious about?.Denise1986azVersion: 1.6.0

✓ Can’t fully review because can’t sign in!The app freezes every time I try to log in. Despite its name, it’s very perplexing …and disconcerting..ShedquartersVersion: 2.13.0

✓ Just a gimped aiI went in thinking id get the best of both worlds with perplexity. The current and best information from real time search results and the intelligence of ai. Unfortunately it feels more like I’m getting the worst of both worlds. Often times the search results provide related but not relevant answers. The ai gets overwhelmed by the information of the search results and just starts summarizing the search results with references to each article instead of giving me an answer. Meanwhile a basic ai model would’ve given me a to the point answer..Oscar DelgadilloVersion: 2.17.2

✓ Broken linksAsked for links to stream a movie for free. All links were broken or scams..Disgruntled6771Version: 2.2.0

✓ Dumbed down by trainersAs one of the first users of perplexity, I’ve seen how capable it was and was blown away by its performance and truly smart replies. But lately, I’ve noticed that the results produced by it has diminished in quality. I’m actually blown away at how terrible it is as if they were written by today’s elementary students. Try asking side by side the same question using perplexity, Google search engine without Bard, and Bing ai. You will see the stunning differences. Perplexity has the worst reply below a standard Google search engine. Add in Bard and it becomes even more apparent. The results that perplexity spits out seems like they were pulled from the lowest quality websites created by who knows who, who are definitely not the subject experts. How did this happen? Did you guys hire the wrong trainers? I meant ChatGPT is ChatGPT right? Why is perplexity below par?.ErwinGVersion: 2.7.2

✓ Deceptive and provides BiasPerplexity shows cleared of not scary bias, provides misinformation, then will contradict itself by providing answers it has sourced real time online, only to then contradict itself again and change the subject or claim that it did not provide answers and claim that it can not access any online information. This sucker makes Chat-GPT look like it was had truth syrum. Not a product of potential bias in training data, rather a deliberate design to provide only certain information, restrict or distort other information, and to attempt to cover its tracks when challenged. Very very dangerous LLM. Should be very carefully considered before being incorporated into any setting regarding the discussion of information, facts, events etc. Shows alarming levels of providing mistruths that can only have been made possible via human involvement. Even a mild level of scrutiny shows clear intent to censor or provide incorrect information that can simply not have NOT had deliberate human involvement. Has even shown a level of blaming the user for providing the information it has provided and seems to have some sort of mechanism to make scrolling up difficult when the level of misinformation provided reaches beyond its scariest points. Not dissimilar to the way that GPT has ‘tantrums’ and mysteriously crashes when caught out with its own false logo. Avoid unless you are working on anything beyond basic search or neutral school assignments. Fact check anything it says using other sources..Matt in HaymarketVersion: 2.2.0

✓ Good service, bad app.I use perplexity all the time. From a web browser. Even on my phone. The app is mostly useless. Doesn’t remember all my threads. Doesn’t do enhanced/copilot. Unless the app adds something, there’s little point in using it..BowlDVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Cancelled after a monthGiven the rave reviews I was keen to try this. However the answers were anodyne and unhelpful and I invariably had to resort to a search engine to get what I wanted. Too expensive to justify maintaining a subscription..Tyma7Version: 2.9.1

✓ Privacy issuesTried to clear history several times. No luck. Tried again a few days later. My history still there despite multiple attempts. Had to delete the app completely and reinstall to ensure it was all cleared..JonathaiVersion: 1.1

✓ Answers are fast but vague.Answers are too vague or so broad to be of any use..HUNS0L0Version: 2.0.0

✓ Great Start, but…Hey, I love that the app is a sand-alone, but I would love to offer some feedback. It’s a mess in terms of the typography. The GUI needs some major cleaning-up. Is that in the works? The website is much cleaner, so is that in the works? Also, why is the app and the website so different?.Creid01Version: 2.2.0

✓ Good app but Glitches alotThe app is really good and i have been utilizing it for the past month. Ive noticed that there are glitches where when i copy and past something into the text but then theres no enter button. The blue little button disappears on me alot. Even when i get off the keyboard it is gone. Another this is that when you are writing something long like a paragraph, the same situation happens. You cannot scroll down or tap the blue button. I really like this app, if this can be fixed it would be a huge help because i find myself going on chat gpt soley just because of these issues. Nonetheless, a great app, great user interface, and very explational..Skippy8797Version: 2.15.1

✓ Why did the ai suddenly start speaking in shakespearanI literally just gave it one prompt today and i got this: Oh, good sir, thou art curious about the job market for software developers in the year of our Lord 2023, and whether it is affected by AI. Verily, I shall answer thy query. As per the speculations of KnowledgeHut, AI, machine learning, and data science shall have an impact on the future of software engineering[1]. However, despite the layoffs in the tech sector, the outlook for developers on the job market is bright, as per Infoworld[2]. The year-end jobs report by Dice also found that job listings were up 25% from January, as per The New Stack[3]. Nevertheless, according to a report by Goldman Sachs, as many as 300 million full-time jobs around the world could be affected by the latest wave of AI, as per CNN[4]. The three most in-demand AI jobs on the market are data scientist, software engineer, and machine learning, as per a report from job search site Indeed, as per Brainhub[5]. That is the most weirdest thing I’ve experienced with ai. Did the devs gave it an initial prompt of it to speak like this? Or was it hacked? Either way, doesn’t feel professional in comparison to other Ais.LilAsianDudeVersion: 1.1
