      The ultimate question is what is the question. Asking the right question is hard. Even framing a question is hard. Hence why at perplexity, we don’t just let you have a chat UI. But actually try to minimize the level of thought needed to ask fresh or follow up questions.

      In a post-AI world perhaps the most important skill will be knowing how to ask a great question, generalized to knowing how to think through exactly what you want [to know.]

      Every so often I have such a hard time phrasing what I’m trying to look for. [ . . . ] there have probably been times where I have spent two hours trying to look through, because I don’t know how to phrase what I’m trying to do.
