A recent study, not connected to the lawsuit, found that approximately 60% of the outputs from OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 model contained some form of plagiarized content. Furthermore, 45.7% of all outputs included identical text, raising further questions about the nature of AI-generated content and its potential infringement on copyright laws.
Key takeaways:
- The question of whether large language models are 'memorizing,' 'regurgitating' or 'learning' information is a key debate in generative AI's legal standing.
- The New York Times has filed a complaint against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging copyright infringement.
- The lawsuit, _The New York Times Corporation v. Microsoft Corporation, OpenAI, Inc. et al_, is still ongoing.
- A recent study unrelated to the lawsuit found that about 60% of OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 model outputs contained 'some form of plagiarized content,' with 45.7% of all outputs containing 'identical text.'
