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.

A user who doesn't know better, or can't easily spot issues, may accept it as news.
