Perplexity links to sources. All he has to do was show the student the same search on perplexity.

I do feel sorry for professors like this that cannot adapt to technology changes at the rate they are happening

Why would the teacher (this is almost certainly not third level education we're talking about here) use a different AI when they already have primary sources? Your suggestion makes no sense.

The goal of teaching is to help students learn. By showing the student Perplexity the student would learn the value of sources and how he can get to those sources using a "search". It is unrealistic to think that there is any value in teaching students the Dewey Decimal system for finding sources.
