A @FastCompany article on how perplexity.ai is building the future of search. "A group of new AI-powered search startups have emerged, each hoping that as powerful large language models (LLMs) improve, AI chatbots will prove a better way of scouring the web’s content than Google’s crawlers and ranking system. The most pedigreed among them, perhaps, is Perplexity AI." fastcompany.com/90883562/is-pe…
