Perplexity AI is lying about their user agent

I really don't see this as that big of an issue with Perplexity per se, as sources are cited in the content. Users can still opt to visit relevant sources.

But they don’t need to because it’s been summarised already. So I get nothing while perplexity make more money.

It's not them though, but the users of their services. Like one thing I find myself doing a lot of to get through long reading lists is "summarize in detail X", where X is the URL of an article, etc. Depending on the result I may decide to actually read the entire thing or move on. Somewhere down the road it would be nice to just provide that list and have an AI order by how relevant the content is to me at that particular point in time...
