Larger LLMs are trained on so much info that they get the answer right surprisingly often.

Only thing they of course struggle with are recent events.

Generative AI search engine Perplexity, which claims to be a Google competitor and recently snagged a $73.6 million Series B funding from investors like Jeff Bezos, is going to start selling ads, the company told ADWEEK....“Advertising was always part of how we’re going to build a great business,” said Shevelenko.
