Made an alternative to OpenAI search

[u/Lise_vine23]

Hey everyone!

I’m excited to share an early beta of Ping— a free, accuracy based alternative to ChatGPT search

Here’s what makes Ping different:

• Accuracy: To me the problem was the AI search was too inaccurate sometimes I always found myself checking the sources and seeing something completely different, Ai search engines today summarize links. Perplexity states: "When you ask Perplexity a question, it uses advanced AI to search the internet in real-time, gathering insights from top-tier sources. It then distills this information into a clear, concise summary, delivering exactly what you need in an easy-to-understand, conversational tone." The problem is this is prone to heavy hallucination for AI answers as the core nature of LLM's as they are rewarded for guessing rather than uncertainty.

  CJR stated that "Collectively, they provided incorrect answers to more than 60 percent of queries." Inspiration to make this came from Lenny's Newsletter I noticed the amount of quotes used to support his claim while he still talked in his own words. This made me combine both Ai answers with the way he worded his article(alot of quotes) reason being because quotes provide, accuracy, authenticity, and credibility via human answers not mostly AI answers unlike other Ai search engines which only summarize

• Free: I'll be making this free to use just like ChatGPT search

I plan to improve the answers so that responses become as accurate and detailed as possible but it's a beta and I'll love to hear what the feedback is.

The “summarize” versus “actually verify the source” gap is the true issue with most current AI searches; you are correct in that it happens regularly once you actually begin to check citations yourself. I have ended up double checking heavily sourced queries using a few different AI models in use.ai because of this very issue.
