Perplexity is a consumer of all the supposed Evil Corp AIs. You’re just paying them to amortize your usage on each across tons of other people. And the Gemini emotions thing is a claim basically all the frontier labs could make at this point (Anthropic has also done this to my knowledge)

Im hesitant with Gemini bc it’s Google and they’re shady. I’m trying to reduce my reliance on them, thwy have their fingers in everything: money, emails, documents, engine search, etc.
