Interesting read—somewhat tangential, but I after reading this interview I asked Perplexity to help me find a podcast I liked but had forgotten the name of. It quickly identified the podcast as "The City of the Dead." When I ran the same query on Google, the results were off, with suggestions like "Adventures in Egypt" and other unrelated topics on the first page.
I then asked Perplexity.ai for podcast recommendations similar to "The City of the Dead", and it suggested:
1. The Magnus Archives
2. Old Gods of Appalachia
3. The White Vault
4. Welcome to Night Vale
5. Alice Isn't Dead
All of these checked out as real, and from my initial inspection, they seem to fit what I was looking for.
A year ago, I tried a similar exercise without AI-powered tools and only found one podcast.
The takeaway for me is that the tools in this domain are evolving rapidly. Perplexity, for example, feels like a genuine Google replacement and has significantly improved my experience with search, which I usually struggle with.
🎤 Check out this interview with @Stella Fosse - text or audio! It was so much fun to talk about her experiences with using AI for authorship tasks on her upcoming book: "Write & Sell a Well-Seasoned Romance", coming out on Aug. 29.

Good to have a specific example of how the tools are improving! Thank you for sharing it, @armaninspace :)
