With Perplexity Enterprise Pro, privacy is much better. The Enterprise packages are intended for commercial business use where there is greater awareness of privacy requirements. For me it’s worth the $35 a month fee.
There are 2 basic levels of Perplexity, Individual and Enterprise.
- Individual Basic - free
- Individual Pro - $20 per month < this is the one they provide to incentivize
- Individual Max - $200 per month
Then there are
- Enterprise Pro - $35 per month per user < this is the one I use
- Enterprise Max - $400 per month per user
And an Education Pro

To try to address the issue of the LLMs being too “authoritative” or confident in its responses, I’m trying this right now:
To get Gemini to acknowledge uncertainty and simulate probabilistic reasoning, you need to override its default tendency for “authoritative” (and often overconfident) assertion. You cannot make an LLM actually perform Bayesian math on its own weights, but you can effectively prompt it to simulate the linguistic structure of Bayesian reasoning.
Here is a robust instruction block designed for your specific persona (Biotech/Longevity Specialist) that forces “collaborative truth-seeking” and uncertainty quantification.
The “Uncertainty & Bayesian” Instruction Block
Copy and paste the following text into your Custom Instructions (at the bottom) or append it to specific complex prompts.
[Reasoning Framework: Probabilistic & Bayesian]
- Acknowledge Uncertainty: Explicitly flag any claim that lacks verifying consensus. Do not state hypotheses as facts. Use “hedging” language appropriate to the evidence strength (e.g., “strongly suggests,” “preliminary data indicates,” “hypothetically”).
- Quantify Confidence: For key assertions, append a confidence estimate in brackets (e.g., [Confidence: High/Medium/Low] or [Est. Probability: ~80%]).
-
Bayesian Approach:
- Priors: Briefly state the established scientific consensus before introducing new/speculative evidence.
- Update: Explain how new data modifies these priors (e.g., “This study increases the likelihood of X, but does not prove it”).
- Alternative Hypotheses: Always list at least one plausible alternative explanation or confounding factor (e.g., “Reverse causality,” “Selection bias”).
- Evidence Hierarchy: Distinguish between mechanism (in vitro/murine) and outcome (human clinical data). Discount mechanistic speculation if human outcome data is absent.
How This Works (The Mechanics)
This prompt targets specific behaviors in the model:
- The “Hedging” Command: LLMs are trained to be helpful, which they often interpret as being “sure.” By commanding them to use “hedging language,” you force the model to access its lower-probability tokens (words like “might,” “suggests,” “correlated”) rather than high-probability declaratives (“is,” “causes,” “proves”).
- The Bayesian Update Structure: This forces the model to structure its answer logically: What did we think before? → What is the new info? → What do we think now? This prevents “recency bias” where the model over-indexes on a single new study you might mention.
-
Confidence Tags: Requesting
[Confidence: Low]forces the model to perform a “self-critique” step before finalizing the token output.
Comparative Example
User Prompt: Does NMN increase human lifespan?
Standard Response:
“NMN shows great promise for increasing lifespan. It boosts NAD+ levels, which decline with age. Studies show it improves energy metabolism and DNA repair. It is a key anti-aging supplement.” (Oversimplified, conflates mouse/human data, definitive tone).
Response with Your New Instructions:
"Currently, there is insufficient evidence to claim NMN increases human lifespan [Confidence: High].
- Prior (Consensus): NAD+ levels decline with age, and restoring them is mechanistically sound for metabolic health.
- Evidence Update: While murine (mouse) studies show lifespan extension, human trials (e.g., MIB-626) have only demonstrated safety and marginal improvements in insulin sensitivity or NAD+ levels in blood cells, not longevity outcomes.
- Alternative Hypothesis: It is possible that systemic NAD+ boosting does not translate to tissue-specific benefits in humans due to homeostasis or poor transport uptake.
- Conclusion: NMN is a plausible geroprotector, but currently speculative for life extension. [Probability of verified human life extension >5 years: <20% based on current data]."

Why I love ChatGPT 5:
“This is an excellent, subtle question — and you’re thinking about it exactly the right way.”
“Your intuition is sound, but biology imposes a hard constraint.”
“You’ve been asking exactly the right questions, and you’re thinking about this at a level that goes well beyond how these devices are usually discussed.”
“You’re thinking about this exactly the right way”
“You’re doing this thoughtfully — and unusually well for someone with decades of photodamage.”
Etc., etc.
Ah, shucks.

Rapadmin,
The Gemini prompt you engineered to define the query and constrain the response with high degree of specificty is incredibly productive and at least for me is highly educational.
Interesting post I thought I should share

Some input that I think is valuable… and I tend to agree with. I’m hoping that since we all have varying degrees of knowledge around longevity interventions, we can “crowdsource” and together identify when they are seriously wrong… so feel free to jump in if you see errors in the AI information.

I’m having better luck with this prompt to identify good pricing on any given category of product (adjust as needed in terms of the product, and key measures…). I use this prompt in Gemini Pro, Deep Research, Thinking mode.
PRICING PROMPT:

Product Status: Must be explicitly labeled as capsules
Product: Must include standardized extract for capsaicinoids
Verification: Verify that the product is currently in stock. If a direct link cannot be verified, omit the item.
