X's product head, Nikita Bier, accused Perplexity's Indian-origin founder Aravind Srinivas of running 'undisclosed promotion campaigns' on the platform.
The controversy started when Perplexity released its Personal Computer, which integrates with the Perplexity Mac App for secure orchestration across local files, native apps, and browsers.
Nikita Bier tweeted at Aravind Srinivas, saying 'Can you please stop the undisclosed promotion campaigns? It deceives users and it does not reflect well on your company or your integrity.'
Perplexity's Personal Computer unifies every current AI capability into a single system, operating the software stack like a human co-worker would.
Nikita Bier shared a tweet thread by Simon Goddek, a PhD biotechnologist and CEO of Sunfluencer, alleging massive promo networks for crypto and AI scams on X that operate unethically.
