Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas warned users against using AI shortcuts after a social media post went viral showing a user completing a 45-minute Coursera course in just 16 seconds using Comet AI.
The 31-year-old billionaire reposted the video with the caption, “Absolutely don’t do this,” which received over 50 lakh views. The user had automated a course on “AI Ethics, Responsibility, and Creativity,” prompting irony and widespread reactions online.
Aravind Srinivas, an IIT Madras alum and India’s youngest billionaire, founded Perplexity AI in 2022 after working with OpenAI, Google, and DeepMind.
