Thought: new search and discovery paradigm
New services like Perplexity are in a cool position where they have the opportunity to abstract away the concept of "website", at least in the context of search and discovery.
The old school "Google way" is to search by keywords and get a list of links to other websites in return.
The current Perplexity way is to ask a question and get a boring page filled with long winded prose providing an answer to this question.
I find this experience rather underwhelming. I feel they have done their course.
What I would like to see as the new discovery paradigm is services creating actual tasteful web pages of answers, complete with images, videos, and interactive content. Something along the lines of a dynamically generated Wikipedia.
Users would be able to edit these pages, congregate around them as they could be reused for the same queries by other users creating little interest hubs for any topic imaginable.
Like Reddit for anything you can imagine.
