Sorry, fellas: your spicy AI anime girlfriend is actually destroying your mind — at least according to Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas.
You live in a different reality, almost altogether, and your mind is manipulable very easily.”Like any good entrepreneur, Srinivas isn’t just interested in analyzing the problem.
“We can fight that, through trustworthy sources, real-time content,” the CEO said of users losing themselves to AI companionship.
Sure, Perplexity isn’t selling a raunchy companion bot to satiate lonely gooners, or even a conversational encyclopedia like ChatGPT.
