I Tried Perplexity For a Week, And I Don't Think AI Search Engines Can Replace Google.. Yet
The fact that I began this experiment a week later than I had originally planned should tell you all you need to know about how entrenched Google Search is in our lives. I can’t specifically tell you why I didn’t want to switch search engines, let alone to one that was powered by artificial intelligence, but I can tell you for a fact that I tried to delay the switch for as long as possible.. until I couldn’t.
There has been a lot of talk recently about Google Search and how its results have become worse, but that's not really the reason why I decided to switch search engines. I did it because I did not believe we had reached a point where Google Search’s utility and dominance could be challenged.
