Srinivas defended Perplexity's practices, stating, "It's surfacing content from the web, summarizing it in a manner that the user can digest." This echoes how journalists operate.
In a blog post addressing the lawsuit, Perplexity claimed that publishers wish its technology "didn't exist," seeking to restrict public access to reported facts, which highlights industry tensions.
A recent Copyleaks report revealed that Perplexity summaries contained significant paraphrasing and plagiarism, raising concerns about the fidelity of their content practices.
Srinivas acknowledged the citation errors, asserting, "At the end of every sentence, there's a footnote... but we're trying our best to do those kind of things."
