I do think Perplexity does a better job. Since it cites sources in its generated response, you can easily check its answer. As to the general public trusting Google, the company's fall from grace began in 2017, when the EU fined them like 2 billion for fixing search results. There've been a steady stream of controversies since then, including the revelation that Chrome continues to track you in private mode. YouTube's predatory practices are relatively well-known. I guess I'm saying that if this is what finally makes people give up on them, no skin off my back. But I'm disappointed by how much their mismanagement seems to be adding to the pile of negativity surrounding AI.
