And now the Beeb are complaining

The BBC is threatening to take legal action against an artificial intelligence (AI) firm whose chatbot the corporation says is reproducing BBC content "verbatim" without its permission.
The BBC has written to Perplexity, which is based in the US, demanding it immediately stops using BBC content, deletes any it holds, and proposes financial compensation for the material it has already used.

It is the first time that the BBC - one of the world's largest news organisations - has taken such action against an AI company.

Perplexity has been approached for comment.

The BBC's legal threat has been made in a letter to Perplexity's boss Aravind Srinivas.

Disney and Universal are suing AI firm Midjourney. The BBC is one thing but the likes of Disney have very deep pockets and are very experienced at defending their IP.
