Jul 8, 2024, 04:38 PM

The New York Times Co. has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that the AI company used its articles to train ChatGPT without permission, constituting copyright infringement. OpenAI has requested proof of the originality of the articles, including interview memos, reporters' notes, and other materials, but stated it is not seeking the identities of the sources. The NYT has responded vehemently, calling the request 'irrelevant, improper, and harassing.' The judge's decision on the matter is awaited.
