The New York Times, however, disputes OpenAI's claims, stating that they were simply using OpenAI's products to find evidence of copyright infringement. The Times' lead counsel, Ian Crosby, asserts that the scale of OpenAI's copying is much larger than the examples provided in the complaint. OpenAI maintains that any New York Times content they may have used falls under fair use, and that the Times' content did not significantly contribute to the training of their models.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI has asked a U.S. federal judge to dismiss most of the copyright lawsuit filed against it by the New York Times, alleging that the Times used hacked evidence.
- The company claims that the Times manipulated its technology to reproduce its material, which violates OpenAI's terms of use.
- OpenAI argues that the examples in the Times lawsuit do not reflect how normal people use ChatGPT and were the result of exploiting a bug, which the company is committed to addressing.
- The New York Times disagrees with OpenAI's claims, stating that they were simply using OpenAI's products to find evidence of copyright infringement.
