Reddit's CEO slammed Microsoft, Anthropic, and Perplexity for using the social platform's data for free.
The three companies previously landed in trouble for training their AI models on data without permission.
Paying for data could cost AI companies "hundreds of billions of dollars," Andreessen Horowitz said last year.
Steve Huffman, the CEO of Reddit, has called out Microsoft, Anthropic, and Perplexity for using Reddit's data to train their AI models without paying.
"We've had Microsoft, Anthropic, and Perplexity act as though all of the content on the internet is free for them to use," Huffman told The Verge, saying that blocking these companies has been "a real pain in the ass."
