The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming copyright infringement. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI used millions of New York Times articles without permission to train its ChatGPT language model, resulting in the generation of verbatim excerpts from the newspaper. The New York Times argues that this has allowed readers to access its content without subscription fees, causing a loss in revenue. The lawsuit reveals unsuccessful attempts to resolve the copyright issue amicably. AI tools like ChatGPT rely on human-made content for training data, often collected through automated web scraping.
