A title I never expected to write, but there it is.
NYT updated their TOS to prevent scraping for AI training purposes and might be able to cripple OpenAI with their lawsuit.
You must log in or register to comment.
This is how it will shake out though.
If you’re a big corporation (facebook/nyt), ChatGPT will have to pay you massive licensing fees to scrape. If you’re a regular person posting to a platform, you will have no protections because of a platform EULA. The platform will call your work “data” and sell all rights to it, to whatever AI can pay.
The best AI will cost more than you can afford, because they have paid the most for their datasets (your work.)
I’m so excited for the bougie civil war over copyright law!
NPR reported that a “top concern” is that ChatGPT could use The Times’ content to become a “competitor” by “creating text that answers questions based on the original reporting and writing of the paper’s staff.”
Oh no, The NY Times is going to be threatened by garbage in, garbage out ML. I really don’t like the constant barrage of “intellectual property” rights, it’s a vague term used by publishing companies to overgeneralize large areas of copyright, patent, and trademark law.
to the newspaper I despise like no otherNYT also wanted to exclude Google from scrapping their site to build their AI but cannot without completely removing their links from Google search because Google will not provide that option.
Instead they signed a contract with Google to allow them to use their content in Bard. Then they filed this lawsuit against OpenAI.
