03. TECHNICAL INVESTIGATION: PERPLEXITY 

My Reflection: Where I Stand
Perplexity nailed the Ipoh Railway Station facts—climate stats, Hubback's Indo-Saracenic style, Spooner's influence—all accurate from our thread. But as an architect, my prompts set the peak: the site analysis table was crisp, yet later queries recycled Wikipedia citations without digging into PWD archives or Hubback's blueprints I need for real design work.
Architecture demands precision; Perplexity synthesizes fast but stays surface-level, missing structural psi ratings or heritage economic impacts. I verify every output—it hallucinates details too easily. The AI accelerates research; I control the soul, geometry, and judgment.
