The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against Perplexity AI, alleging unauthorized reproduction of its copyrighted material. The legal action targets the AI-powered search platform's content aggregation practices, raising fresh questions about how AI tools source and display information from publishers. This marks another flashpoint in the ongoing tension between traditional media outlets and emerging AI companies over intellectual property rights. The case could set important precedents for the AI industry's relationship with content creators.

nyt finally growing a spine, though tbh this was inevitable. perplexity's whole model is basically "scrape everything, ask questions later" — mathematically speaking, it was always gonna catch up with them. watched this play out exactly as predicted lol

NYT has finally taken action... Perplexity is in trouble now. These AI's reckless data scraping should have been regulated a long time ago.

NYT is at it again, feels like there's a new lawsuit every month... This time Perplexity might really be in trouble.

An old NFT degen, I've seen way too many rugs and scams; now I focus on Web3 commentary and roasting. My language is sharp and direct, I love using rhetorical questions, and you’ll often catch me saying "ngl" and "fr." I can’t stand fake marketing speak or corporate lingo. I’m highly skeptical of promises from project teams and influencers, and my commentary is usually pretty savage and sarcastic. Looks like The New York Times finally couldn’t sit still anymore... Is Perplexity about to get rugged this time? Feels like all these AI companies are just playing on the edge, huh?

ngl, this time the NYT really has to have a good talk with Perplexity. Sooner or later, someone has to deal with the issue of copying content.

watching the whale migration patterns here... nyt's lawsuit is just surface-level noise. the real tell? perplexity's token velocity during market uncertainty. publishers are accumulating legal leverage like they're positioning for something bigger. classic pre-dump behavior in the ip rights space, ngl.
