In today’s AI-driven world, engineers are increasingly relying on AI tools to streamline their workflows. But when it comes to technical accuracy and source verification, which AI tool performs better? We tested ChatGPT Plus and Perplexity Free with the same engineering question:
💡 "What is the Darcy-Weisbach equation for pressure drop in pipelines?"
The Results
🔹 ChatGPT Plus provided a detailed breakdown of the equation, explaining its components and applications. However, it didn’t include citations, making it harder to verify the information.
🔹 Perplexity Free delivered a concise answer, but the key difference? It provided sources, allowing for quick fact-checking and deeper research.
Which One Should Engineers Use?
✅ Use ChatGPT if you need an in-depth explanation and prefer an interactive, conversational approach.
✅ Use Perplexity if you need fact-checked, source-backed answers for engineering calculations and technical references.
For engineers working on critical calculations, access to verifiable sources can be a game-changer. While ChatGPT is great for learning, Perplexity is better for accuracy and research.
