CNN sues AI company Perplexity for doing what AI does

Summary: CNN is suing the artificial intelligence company Perplexity for stealing its news stories. Even though the two companies were talking about a business deal, Perplexity used CNN's work without permission. Other big news groups like The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune have also sued Perplexity for the exact same reason. CNN says AI shouldn't be allowed to steal hard work from human reporters. Perplexity argues back, saying that "you can't copyright facts." Despite the lawsuit, CNN is still trying to work with other AI companies, like Meta.
