Experts aren’t unanimous about whether the AI-powered search startup’s practices could expose it to legal claims ranging from infringement to defamation—but some say plaintiffs would have strong cases.
Perplexity passed the paywall problem?
I didn’t hit one.
Perhaps perplexity has privileged pipelines for perpetrating its pumping purposes.
You blow in the hole, I’ll do the fingering

Poppycock.
Plenty of paywalled sites have workarounds (Bypass Paywall Clean extension basically does that for you)
Better than OP could do
I had no paywall on my end, probably a regional thing.
I always use Read Mode when any paywall comes up. For 90% of tries, i can read the whole article.
Also in a more pleasant manner, big lettering and no ads:
What app is this?
“Reading Mode”, it’s a Google app.
Firefox has a similar function.
I’m officially sick of this so-called AI. There’s nothing intelligent about it, it’s simply functionality modifying programs spewing recursive bullshit written by other AIs (or possibly by itself) that were all trained on stolen human work once upon a time, but are now just gibberish.
