Amazon is suing Perplexity AI to stop the startup from using its AI agent to help users shop. The e-commerce giant is accusing Perplexity of committing computer fraud by failing to disclose when the tool called Comet is shopping on a real person’s behalf, in violation of Amazon’s terms of service, according to the complaint in San Francisco federal court. It’s a confusing case and Bloomberg’s Matt Day explains it on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Amazon doesn’t want you to buy a product that’s better and lower price

I’m not the smartest man but, “we’re suing because we left a loophole and you found it.” Is that what I’m hearing?

It’s not even a loophole. Lots of browsers already do this for the sake of compatibility. Amazon is clutching at straws here because they don’t like that a different company beat them to something that they really should have done first.
