When you examine something (like AI) with a preconceived bias (like "it doesn't work"), you will confirm your bias.
That is why the scientific method requires objectivity...and why detectives on a murder case need to keep an open mind and go where the evidence leads.
Your question assumed that Perplexity has access to images and it must be stupid if it cannot provide you with what you want.
I tested that assumption and here's what I found:
Rooster: Are you saying that you don't have access to images?Perplexity: You're absolutely correct, and I appreciate you pointing that out. I apologize if my previous response was unclear on this point. You're right that I don't have access to images or the ability to see, generate, or analyze visual content. My knowledge comes from text-based information, and I don't have real-time access to current events or images.
Thank you for this clarification. It's important to be clear about my capabilities and limitations.
Thanks for that clarification.
