🚨 BREAKING: Perplexity is basically that kid in school who swore they’d be the next Elon Musk but can’t even figure out how to get a lemonade stand rolling. 🍋💀 #Perplexed So, this AI shindig decided to dive into the shopping and ad game after being in the “let’s just keep fundraising” biz for a year 🎢👀. Spoiler alert: it’s not working! Marketers are throwing their hands up like, “What is this, a chaotic episode of *Shark Tank*?” 🦈🤡 Imagine being a marketer trying to deal with Perplexity, while also knowing their ads are about as effective as using a banana as a phone. 📱🍌 “We opted for in-app purchases because who needs actual customers, right?” said some imaginary developer who’s definitely seething. 💅💰 And as for merchants? They’re just here like “We’re in a four-way facepalm situation!” 🤦🤦🤦 If the stonks go down any further, we might need to send in the fire brigade because “this is fine” is not what we’re serving today! 🔥🚒 So here’s my ultra-unhinged hot take: In about a year, Perplexity will pivot to selling hot dog water and call it a “premium AI experience.” 🌭💧 Who’s buying that? 🤑👽 #StayTuned #NotYourLemonadeStand
