Advantages:

  • Excels at creative text generation, writing blogs, emails, generating ideas, and holding natural conversations.
  • Maintains context in long conversations and can adapt style or tone.
  • Supports coding and technical tasks, especially in higher versions (GPT-4).
  • Great for brainstorming, storytelling, or marketing copy.

Disadvantages:

  • Knowledge is limited to its training data; without a web plugin, it may not know current information.
  • Answers are not typically backed by citations, increasing the risk of “hallucinations” (confidently incorrect information).
  • Fact-checking requires external verification, which can be time-consuming.

Perplexity AI

Advantages:

  • Answers are always backed by source links, making verification easy and increasing trustworthiness.
  • Works with up-to-date web data, ideal for quick research, fact-checking, or finding the latest information.
  • Allows you to select which sources to use (e.g., only scientific articles).
  • The free version offers many features, including basic search.
  • Intuitive interface and the ability to organize queries into collections.

Disadvantages:

  • Answers are often more concise, less suitable for creative writing or extended text.
  • Less suitable for brainstorming, idea generation, or long-form conversation.
  • May repeat or be redundant in answers, and can still make mistakes (“hallucinations”) if sources are flawed.
  • Relies on third-party LLM models, which can mean variable answer quality.
  • Some advanced features require a paid plan.

When to Use Which Tool?

  • ChatGPT is the best choice if you need to create creative content, have natural conversations, write longer texts, or brainstorm ideas.
  • Perplexity AI is ideal if you need to quickly and accurately verify facts, conduct research, get up-to-date web information, and want answers backed by specific sources.

Summary

ChatGPT is a versatile conversational AI that excels at creativity and extended text, but its information can be outdated and is not automatically verified. Perplexity AI, on the other hand, is a powerful tool for quick and accurate research with an emphasis on transparency and up-to-date information, but is less suited for free-form writing or creative tasks. The choice depends on your specific purpose and requirements.
