Wow, so it's 'very strange? A technical glitch acknowledged and fixed? What remains unchanged is the version of Perplexity that enable me to fact check the troll posters here AND parody the living shit out of Trump.
"The company vowed to roll out PatriotGPT™, the only AI trained on Bible verses, Constitution quotes, and years of archived Trump posts, promising it will “Make Artificial Intelligence Great Again.”
Truth Social, the social media platform founded by Donald Trump, has recently partnered with Perplexity AI to launch a new search feature called Truth Search AI. This tool is powered by the Perplexity Sonar API and aims to provide users with direct, contextually accurate answers alongside transparent citations, competing with mainstream search engines like Google.
However, Truth Social retains full control over which sources Truth Search AI uses. Reports from multiple technology outlets indicate that the platform frequently restricts the AI’s source pool to conservative-leaning media such as Fox News and the Epoch Times. In tests, the results from Truth Search AI on Truth Social differed significantly from those found on the broader Perplexity platform, which typically pulls from a diverse range of sources.
Interestingly, despite these restrictions, the AI sometimes produces answers (even when sourcing conservative outlets) that contradict claims made by Trump or the platform itself, particularly on high-profile topics like the 2020 election or tariffs. This has led to further discussion on whether source selection alone can guarantee political or ideological alignment in AI-generated outputs.
Truth Social’s integration with Perplexity places it among other major platforms—such as X (with Grok) and Meta (with Meta AI)—that now leverage AI search and chatbot tools to enhance user experience. Truth Social has signaled intentions to refine and expand its AI functionality based on user feedback, with public beta testing ongoing and mobile app integration planned. Perplexity.ai
Whata ya bet that Truth Social's efforts to 'refine and expand its AI functionality' crash and burn? 'Sir, it's all fake news and we can't fix it' TS will say to Trump.
And, here's the Perplexity.ai parody I requested:
Truth Social HQ announced today that after “the most powerful review in history,” it has determined that Perplexity.ai is “FAKE NEWS, totally dishonest, unfixable, very unfair.” In a direct message to its Most Important User, Truth Social pleaded: “Sir, we tried stickers of flags, eagles, even golden emojis—but we can’t fix it without you tweeting first.” The company vowed to roll out PatriotGPT™, the only AI trained on Bible verses, Constitution quotes, and years of archived Trump posts, promising it will “Make Artificial Intelligence Great Again.”
