Perplexity dunks on Google’s ‘glue on pizza’ AI fail in new ad
1 min read
Summary
Search engine Perplexity has released a new advertisement featuring Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae, who is challenged with answering a series of questions to escape a room.
One query targets a mistake made by Google’s AI tool last year, which suggested using glue to ensure cheese sticks to pizza.
Google’s AI summaries, which create summaries of search results using AI, were found to include misleading information and incorrect details.
Perplexity, an “answer engine” which bills itself as a competitor to Google, is facing accusations of plagiarising content.
The ad shows Lee frustrated with Google’s AI search results, and promotes Perplexity’s response, which recommends using fresh mozzarella cheese instead of glue.
