The artificial intelligence (AI) war continues to rage. And to occupy the field, the new masters of high-tech compete with more or less relevant announcements. For example, Perplexity has just launched “Spaces” for Pro users, that is to say paying users (of which I am one). But what is it about? Let’s leave it to Perplexity to explain its own new features to us, below in italics:
Perplexity recently launched two new features for its Pro and Enterprise Pro users: Internal Knowledge Search and “Spaces”. Internal Knowledge Search allows users to search internal documents and public web content simultaneously, simplifying the process of searching and analyzing data. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that need to manage large amounts of internal and external data.
Perplexity launches tailor-made AI
“Spaces” are AI-powered collaboration hubs that allow teams to centralize their documents and share them with other users. Users can customize the AI assistant to respond to specific content types, providing a more personalized search experience. “Spaces” also offer comprehensive access controls, allowing teams to maintain the confidentiality and security of their documents.
These new features are designed to improve team efficiency and productivity. Businesses can now combine internal data with external research to achieve more comprehensive and accurate results. Spaces also make collaboration and document management easier, reducing time wasted navigating between different platforms. With these updates, Perplexity positions itself as an essential tool for businesses looking to improve their search and collaboration process.
AI: towards a regression of knowledge?
My comment? All this is sometimes very useful, since I use this brave Perplexity every day, but, generally speaking, the AI is not reliable enough, as Apple recently pointed out in this publication. Having been closely interested in heuristics and scientific knowledge during my university studies, I can only note a regression in knowledge in recent years since today we praise lame algorithms which quite often give relevant answers while generating, without warning, hallucinations. Thanks to the poorly named AI!
One of the reasons for this drift is perhaps linked to the very curriculum of the various apprentice sorcerers who support this movement. I suspect them of a lack of knowledge and reflection on subjects such as philosophy, epistemology, knowledge or “the humanities” in general. Obviously, these spirits, not universal enough, delight in approximate and fluctuating knowledge. To meditate.
