All possible love to Perplexity Pro


Above, what no amount of time over the past few years spent asking Apple Support how to sync my MacBook's Chrome bookmarks with Chrome on my iPhone could achieve: simple, understandable instructions that worked!

The more I use Perplexity (Pro costs $17/month and works on both phone and computer) the more I appreciate it, as it takes what used to be endless deadening iterations of Google Search and compresses them into nearly instantaneous answers that far surpass Google's results, in terms of precisely addressing the question asked and providing clickable sources and references.

You can talk to it and it's like talking to a person who's smarter than all the people you'll ever know — combined.

It responds in a manner indistinguishable from a real person using your choice of voices.

I've even had long conversations — 30-40 minutes — while out running: nice change from hearing the same old songs for the zillionth time.

I'm learning a lot about the Roman emperors that we didn't cover in high school Latin.

But I digress.

Just as Google Search seemed magical in its early days, so does this AI now.

Lagniappe: The phone bookmarks even have the favicons present on my computer!
