My understanding is that Perplexity AI doesn't "just Google it". They have their own indexing/crawling engine called PerplexityBot. They also have their own ranking engine, but they use ranking signals from both Google and Bing and combine with their own ranker.

Hopefully their ranking ignores SEO, then it might actually give useful results.
SEO is so depep into the internet its basically impossible. Its cancer. With AI you can generate way more garbage.
