The Chicago Tribune filed a federal lawsuit alleging that Perplexity AI unlawfully reproduced and paraphrased its copyrighted journalism in generative chatbot and search outputs. The complaint claims the AI system produced substitutive answers that bypassed links to the Tribune's website, diverted revenue, and at times hallucinated inaccurate information falsely attributed to the newspaper.
