The New York Times accuses OpenAI of copyright infringement in its training of ChatGPT, saying it removed key evidence, complicating the trial.
Conflict between NYT and OpenAI
The essence of the trial
Publishing house The New York Times has initiated legal proceedings against OpenAI, alleging misuse of their publications in the process of training the ChatGPT system.
Accusations from the publication
In the statement of claim, The New York Times points out that OpenAI, together with Microsoft, carried out a massive borrowing of editorial materials, creating direct competition with the original content. The publication emphasizes that such actions pose a serious threat to quality journalism, undermining the mechanisms for monetizing media content.
Evidence problem
In a new appeal to the court, The New York Times reports that OpenAI engineers inadvertently destroyed part of the evidence of the violation copyright. Despite the partial restoration of information, the file structure and original names were lost.
OpenAI's position
OpenAI official Jason Deutrom categorically disagreed with the accusations, announcing the imminent provision of an official response to the claims.
Investigation progress
As part of the lawsuit, OpenAI was forced to provide data on ChatGPT training materials. The NYT's legal team spent over 150 hours analyzing the information provided before the data was partially lost, and the publication does not claim that the deletion was intentional.

Looks like OpenAI is now in serious trouble with the NYT. Deleting data looks very suspicious 🤔 Even if it is an accident, it will greatly damage their reputation.

I think the NYT is just trying to protect its business model. Technologies are developing, we need to adapt, not sue. AI is the future of journalism! ✨
Heinrich
I agree with Isabella! Imagine how much time ChatGPT saves when analyzing information. We need to look for ways of collaboration, not confrontation 💡
Viktor
Ugh, all this AI of yours is just pumping out money and hype. Previously, we lived normally without these chat bots of yours, and people read regular newspapers. And now they’ve ruined everything with their technology. 😤

Jacques is right about the reputation. 150 hours of work by lawyers and suddenly the files disappeared... Very strange. But Heinrich also makes a point - we need a balance between innovation and rights 🤝
Jacques
Maria, yes, exactly! The question is how to protect copyright in the age of AI. We need new rules of the game 📋
Isabella
Viktor, but progress is inevitable! ChatGPT helps millions of people every day, it's great! 🌟
Heinrich
I think that NYT could create their own AI service based on their content. That would be an innovative solution! 🚀
