American companies do this a lot. Rule for thee, not for me. For example lawyers. Companies have a team of lawyers to ensure you only play by their terms, on terms they can only understand, with disproportionate amortized advantages/disadvantages (who can afford to add $1000 to their disney+ subscription? Disney spreads the cost lawyers across millions of transactions...). Or they retain their right to sue you, but force you into arbitration. Not that I suspect perplexity is any kind of innocent of that behavior (or at least will remain so if extremely successful) Now companies are doing the same with AI. We can use AI, and other tools to maximize what we extract from you, but you cannot use AI to help yourself with better outcomes. I also commented here that it sounds anti-competitive: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45816871 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45816871
