In a recent humorous incident on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, Aravind Srinivas, the Indian-origin CEO of Perplexity AI, was mistakenly identified as Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. This mix-up occurred when a X user named Nick Speer, called for Srinivas to ensure that Perplexity AI remains unbiased, but incorrectly tagged Kejriwal in his post instead.
The post shared by Nick speer read: "@ArvindKejriwal please keep Perplexity as unbiased as possible, and be wary of biased LLMs."
