    Well this is somehow much, much worse than Google

    For those who missed it, perplexity is the one happily powering truth social’s AI search with their logo front and centre

      The CEO also said in an interview that he would use Chrome to mine endless amounts of user data. As the dead internet becomes a problem, he wants to use Chrome itself to detect when it’s being used by a human and scrape all the data they produce. I instantly uninstalled the Perplexity app after seeing that.
