I'm not sure even treating it as a guidance is the best approach, generally you should challenge it a lot (which is what CoT kind of emulates), you never know what it is confabulating and when it is correct.
Yes, but. I asked Perplexity Pro the same fact question (sports) three days in a row after correcting its error the first day and having the correction acknowledged with a promise to get it right in the future. Same error on second day, same promise. Third day: correct. Perhaps it needs to be in the "Slow" classroom....
