😸 Perplexity: AI Darling or Copycat?

You know how we always wish for more time to do the things we love?

Well, I came across this great quote.

"I don't want an AI to write poetry and make art. I want an AI that can do my laundry so I can write poetry and make art."

By Joanna Maciejewska

Isn't that spot on?

We don't want machines taking over the fun stuff.

We want them to handle the boring chores so we can do more of what makes us happy.

What do you think?

If AI could do one of your chores, what would you do with that extra time?

🪰 Buzz Around AI

😸 Perplexity: AI Darling or Copycat?

What's the deal with Perplexity? Here's why everyone's talking about this AI company right now:-

• Raised $63M+ from big names like Bezos and Nvidia

• Reached unicorn status, with rumours of tripling valuation

• Hyped as a potential "Google killer"

But there's trouble brewing. Perplexity's content sourcing is under scrutiny:

• Forbes caught them republishing a paywalled article

• They're bypassing robots.txt, the digital "No Trespassing" sign

• Wired called them a "Bullshit Machine"

• They even plagiarized Wired's article about their content theft (awkward!)

This has prompted an AWS investigation into illegal scraping.

There is a growing tension between AI companies and publishers. AI companies are hungry for training data. At the same time, publishers are trying to protect their content amid this clash.
