I use Perplexity and it routinely confabulates while linking to the source it confabulates from. Parent has a valid gripe that AI is essentially damaging their reputation by pretending to cite its information with a credible source, I wish there were some legal avenue to sue but it's not quite libel is it?


And you have the source as proof. But that says a lot about Perplexity.

Does Perplexity actually give you a clickable link like ChatGPT does?


It gives you clickable links to a half dozen or so sources. It's not clear which of the information comes from source 1 vs source 2, etc.


And it’s too much to verify the sources? When you use Google and search for something do you not have to go to multiple sources?
