Quora

Quora's AI chatbot platform, Poe, has been allegedly providing users with downloadable HTML files of articles from paywalled journalistic outlets. This practice is raising significant copyright concerns, as it involves unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material. This could undermine the business models of many publications relying on paywall protection for revenue generation. With repercussions including potential legal action and a tarnished reputation for Quora, the situation highlights the delicate balance between AI innovation and intellectual property rights.
