Every AI assistant reads a different web. I counted the citations in 141 answers

Automated excerpt

I put the same 47 buying questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode on the same day, and classified every citation across the resulting 141 answers. Perplexity 16.7, Google AI Mode 3.7, ChatGPT 1.6. Perplexity cited provider websites 667 times across its 47 answers. ChatGPT cited them 47 times, almost exactly one per answer. ChatGPT referenced Google Maps in 23 of 47 answers, which reads as an argument for a verified business listing.
