AI Detection Study Finds ChatGPT Outputs Likely to Contain Some Form of Plagiarism | Legaltech News

Mar 13, 2024 - law.com
The debate over whether large language models like generative AI are "memorizing," "regurgitating," or "learning" information is central to their legal standing, particularly in light of the recent copyright infringement complaint by the New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft. The lawsuit, _The New York Times Corporation v. Microsoft Corporation, OpenAI, Inc. et al_, is still in progress.

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.'
