Ok, has a broader knowledge base than anyone you normally are able converse with, and this gives it the "appearance of intelligence" (but not real intelligence, whatever that may be).

Fine, but if, as was the case for me earlier today, I didn't know why a spreadsheet formula failed but perplexity did, this approximation of intelligence is good enough for me.

. . . For that kind of purpose. I'm not going to give AI access to all my data or to any of my accounts. It's always necessary to make sure that the tools you use are "fit for purpose".
