Interesting that the ad is for TurboTax of all things.
As a non-user, would Perplexity attempt to answer the question of "Why is TurboTax the best tax filing software?" with a response that cites the many efforts TurboTax has made to block a free public alternative?

I dont use perplexity either but obviously no, advertisers would pull out immediately if that happened
- franga2000 2y agoI doubt any LLM would, nor would I want it to. Their job is not to contradict the user with "their" opinion. If I want to hear good things about TurboTax, it better give them to me. It's already annoying enough when LLMs avoid "sensitive" topics because their owners fine-tuned them on their own "moral" views.
- bag_boy 2y agoIt’s so weird that Perplexity decided to go with sponsored posts/results for their first rollout of ads. It’s not very congruent to what they’re known for.
