The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, claiming the two companies built their AI models by “copying and using millions” of the publication’s articles and now “directly compete” with its content as a result.
As outlined in the lawsuit, the Times alleges OpenAI and Microsoft’s large language models (LLMs), which power ChatGPT and Copilot, “can generate output that recites Times content verbatim, closely summarizes it, and mimics its expressive style.” This “undermine[s] and damage[s]” the Times’ relationship with readers, the outlet alleges, while also depriving it of “subscription, licensing, advertising, and affiliate revenue.”
The complaint also argues that these AI models “threaten high-quality journalism” by hurting the ability of news outlets to protect and monetize content. “Through Microsoft’s Bing Chat (recently rebranded as “Copilot”) and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Defendants seek to free-ride on The Times’s massive investment in its journalism by using it to build substitutive products without permission or payment,” the lawsuit states.

So, now it’s gone from “reasonable effort” to most definitely you can say without any doubt that all the trained models contain no copyrighted data at all?
Come on. Make up your mind.
You still haven’t backed up your claim. Once again just because you don’t know it doesn’t mean it’s not possible to do something.
My man, now you’re just trying to put the onus on me.
Which is it?
Is it they don’t retain or they do?
You made the claim. 🤷♂️
Lol. You already forgot you claimed that they need to retain the training data first.
Pointing out your arguments inconsistency is forgetting?
Are you okay?
Lol. You already forgot you claimed that they need to retain the training data first.
Oh, I’ve broken you.
