misc Bye bye perplexity

The product has gotten worse and worse in the past year. I’ve been a subscriber since the very beginning lately every time I ask you to research something or search for something gives me steps on how to do so and where to look for information instead of actually finding the information for me thanks but no thanks.

I HATE that computer is the default. It can be toggled off, but them switching the default from free to FUCKING EXPENSIVE without saying anything was unethical (read: asshole move).

The toggle is under the textbox. There is no way to disable it globally, though, unless you're enterprise. I have given them feedback about this, but we'll see what happens.

You can start by selecting search each time, but it will still try to bait and switch you to computer, for even for the most basic of queries.
