Lessons and Discussions

  1. What are top AI programs? When people ask about “top AI programs,” they may mean: (A) best AI-powered software/tools, (B) leading academic AI degree or certificate programs, or (C) companies/platforms leading AI development.
  2. Why Perplexity? Perplexity is an AI tool offered to the public by a company that only sells AI. The others are using AI to sell you something else, usually not to your benefit. Some are downright dangerous. You don’t have to buy Perplexity. The free version is on the web (Perplexity.ai). Ask ChatGPT: “Why is Perplexity safer to use than the other AI applications?” Perplexity does everything the others do, better, and just as fast.
  3. Perplexity AI is often considered safer to use than many other AI applications for several key reasons — primarily because of how it is designed to handle sources, transparency, user intent, and information retrieval. Here’s a breakdown of why Perplexity might be seen as safer: What ChatGBT said.
  4. 17-minute slide presentation on how to use the Perplexity.ai free version.
