I've paid for ChatGPT and Perplexity and tried Copilot, Claude, and Gemini.

Long story short: I now pay $19.99/month for Perplexity Pro and plan to continue doing so for the immediate future.

Cheap at many times the price.

It's the easiest AI for this card-carrying TechnoDolt©®™ to use and gives me the most useful and fastest results.

More impressive: I can go running with my phone and have an informative conversation with Perplexity without touching the phone.

Amazing.

I like to ask questions about history and geography to learn stuff of interest.

Context : I access the net through a keyboard. If you access the net through other means, my story may not help you.

AI : So far, I have used AI only for search and only through the Brave browser. Brave AI search has exceeded my expectations. Whenever I search using Brave AI, the answer comes back as the first-listed response in a list. Its position and format distinguish it from the rest of the responses. So far, after reading the AI response, I have gone to the regular responses only once.

Here is what Brave AI search says about Brave AI search :
"Brave Search uses large language models (LLMs) to enhance the search experience and provide concise answers to queries. Specifically, Answer with AI, a feature introduced in 2023, synthesizes information from multiple sources into a single, intelligible answer, using LLMs like Mixtral 8x7B and Mistral 7B.
"Additionally, parts of Answer with AI are built with open-source LLMs such as Meta Llama 3 and Mistral (and Mixtral)."
