Re:Perplexity AI is lying about their user agent

Personally I don't even think that the issue. I'd prefer correct user-agent, that just common decency and shouldn't be an issue for most.
What I do expect the AI companies to do is to check the license of the content they scrape and follow that. Let's say I run a blog, and I have a CC BY-NC 4.0 license. You can train your AI and that content, as long as it's non-commercial. Otherwise you'd need to contact me an negotiate and appropriate license, for a fee. Or you can train your AI on my personal Github repo, where everything is ISC, that's fine, but for my work, which is GPLv3, then you have to ensure that the code your LLM returns is also under the GPLv3. Does any of the AI companies check that the license of ANYTHING?
