Weird. I have used Perplexity various times over the years and every single time it was confidently wrong about a good 50% of what it was saying. In particular, it would cite references that said the exact opposite of what it claimed they said, or references that had nothing to do with the topic at hand and were only tangentially related, etc. My coworkers have reported the same, so it's definitely not just me.

In short, I really don't know where Perplexity's reputation of "being accurate" comes from. It's anything but.
