Did Perplexity offer The New York Times AI strikebreakers to cover the US election?

Perplexity, an AI company, was criticized for offering to help The New York Times with their election coverage during a strike by their tech workers. Perplexity's CEO, Aravind Srinivas, suggested they could provide technical infrastructure support, which was seen by some as an attempt to replace striking workers with AI. The New York Times has sued Perplexity for using its content to train their AI models, further complicating the situation. The incident highlights the increasing tensions between automation and labor rights in the media industry.
