Creepy AI bullshit of the day: i’ve used Perplexity AI as a “get answers to questions quickly” tool for about a year. Always set it to Incognito mode. Always trying to keep it at arms length and away from my data.
They just added a new tool called Perplexity computer, which basically gives it access to everything on your computer and phone so that you can make it do stuff for you. When you update it, it pretty much defaults to having file access.
So now I’m deleting that from my phone, and going back to using DuckDuckGo as quick answer shit.
My search engine shouldn’t have access to my poems without permission. Fucking creepy as hell.
