More from Perplexity AI: the answer engine with a lot of question marks
Jacob Kastrenakes
Perplexity continues to piss off publishers.
Wired and Robb Knight, a developer at MacStories, found that the AI search engine seems to ignore requests not to scrape their websites. They both blocked Perplexity in their robots.txt file — a standard instruction document for web crawlers — and found that Perplexity still managed to access their content. They’re not the only ones annoyed.
