    Believing your own hype is acceptable, to a point. Realistically, you kinda have to when you’re the CEO of a company that makes a product many experts are reasonably skeptical of.

    The key is to maintain a bit of objectivity and know the limitations of AI. What may seem like success would only turn out to be a PR disaster for Perplexity when it failed. Other AI CEOs know this. That’s why they’re not lining up outside the Time’s office to promote their services.

    Ultimately, this only makes Srinivas look like an overexcited kid who doesn’t truly understand his own product.
