OpenAI Acknowledges Challenge of Training ChatGPT Without Copyrighted Content

OpenAI has admitted that it's impossible to train today's leading AI models without using copyrighted materials, citing the broad scope of copyright that covers various forms of human expression. The company insists it complies with copyright laws and is working on mechanisms to support and empower creators. Facing lawsuits accusing them of using copyrighted works without permission, OpenAI and Microsoft are being challenged for refusing to pay authors for their work while building a billion-dollar industry. OpenAI also responded to The New York Times' lawsuit, claiming the publication was manipulating prompts to get its chatbot to regurgitate content and expressing hope for a constructive partnership.
