I Compared Two Cameras With Perplexity and Got the Receipts
It picked a winner and showed me which review said what. I still checked the pages.
I asked Perplexity to compare two cameras and, crucially, to cite which source said what.
It laid out the trade-offs with footnotes, so I wasn't taking its word for the battery claim.
One citation pointed at a page that didn't say that, so I dropped it. The links aren't gospel.
Where it shone was the recency. A model trained months ago would've picked the older model.
I bought based on the comparison, but only after opening the two reviews it leaned on.
