The performance may feel somewhat limited, but this is due to Android devices usually having less processing power compared to computers. However, for smaller models like the ones I mentioned, you likely won't notice much of a difference when running them on a computer.

Pretty much. It's pretty straight forward.

That really depends on your threat model. The app isn't monitoring your activity or has imbedded trackers. It pulls content directly from YouTube's CDN. All they (Google) know is your IP address, but nothing else. For 99.9% of people that's totally ok.

Hmmm... You're right. It does feel a lot more arbitrary when you put it that way.

You know what? You actually do have a point.

My favorite anime website is down; good thing FMHY has a bunch of great ones to choose from. Migrating sucks, though.

There isn't really a natural barrier between North and South America, though. Asia has the Urals.

Interesting question... I think it would be possible, yes. Poison the data, in a way.

Not Perplexity specifically; I'm taking about the broader "issue" of data-mining and it's implications :)

You're aware that it's in their best interest to make everyone think their """AI""" can execute advanced cognitive tasks, even if it has no ability to do so whatsoever and it's mostly faked?

Are you sure you read the edits in the post? Because they say the exact contrary; Perplexity isn't all powerful and all knowing. It just crawls the web and uses other language models to "digest" what it found. They are also developing their own LLMs. Ask Perplexity yourself or check the documentations.

Taking what an """AI""" company has to say about their product at face value in this part of the hype cycle is questionable at best.

Sure, that might be part of it, but they've always been very transparent on their reliance on third party models and web crawlers. I'm not even sure what your point here is. Don't take what they said at face value; test the claims yourself.

What did you mean by "police" your content?

Seems odd that someone from dbzer0 would be very concerned about data ownership. How come?

That doesn't make much sense. I created this post to spark a discussion and hear different perspectives on data ownership. While I've shared some initial points, I'm more interested in learning what others think about this topic rather than expressing concerns. Please feel free to share your thoughts – as you already have.

I don't exactly know how Perplexity runs its service. I assume that their AI reacts to such a question by googling the name and then summarizing the results. You certainly received much less info about yourself than you could have gotten via a search engine.

Feel free to go back to the post and read the edits. They may help shed some light on this. I also recommend checking Perplexity's official docs.
