Perplexity is a fascinating AI application. But some aspects of the app seem worrying. It takes a Wikipedia-like approach to news: it parses through verified news sources and compiles the information in an easy-to-understand format with all the key facts. It also allows you to ask questions, answers to which it creates on the fly, based, once again, on sources. A recent Forbes article calls Perplexity's aggregation and generation a 'cynical theft'. It had taken its work, without permission, and republished it as though it were itself 'a media outlet'. AI summaries, including Google's feature, pose some key challenges for society and news publishers. For starters, they have issues with accuracy. Unlike Wikipedia, they don't have human oversight or verification, and can pick up unreliable or unverified information from articles as facts. A user who doesn't know better, or can't easily spot issues, may accept it as news.

Mint, Srivastava said Apple’s developer outreach is enabling independent innovators.“Apple’s developer documentation is strong and simplified, and it is easy to build one app and seamlessly market it to all of iOS (for smartphone users), iPadOS (for tablet users) and macOS (for laptop users). As independent developers without vast resources, working on Apple’s developer ecosystem makes it easy to cater to a wider audience, which in turn can help us focus on creativity and simple use cases—rather than coding and debugging issues," Srivastava told Mint.At the other end of the table, developers being wooed by Google stand at a precarious juncture.
