Perplexity's search tools enable users to get instant answers to questions with sources and citations. It is powered by a variety of large language models that can sum up and generate information, from OpenAI to Meta's open-source model Llama. In the quest to provide answers, Dow Jones and the New York Post allege Perplexity copied"vast" quantities of its work into a database, which uses an AI technique known as retrieval-augmented generation to provide answers to users' queries.
"The perplexing Perplexity has willfully copied copious amounts of copyrighted material without compensation, and shamelessly presents repurposed material as a direct substitute for the original source. Perplexity proudly states that users can 'skip the links' - apparently, Perplexity wants to skip the check," he said.
Earlier this month, New York Times sent Perplexity a"cease and desist" notice demanding it to stop using the newspaper's content for generative AI purposes.
