OpenAI Alleges New York Times Cheated to Obtain Evidence for Lawsuit

OpenAI has filed a motion to dismiss several claims in The New York Times' copyright infringement lawsuit, alleging that the outlet used "deceptive prompts" to get ChatGPT to regurgitate its content and exploited a bug in the AI model. The Times' lead counsel refutes the claims, stating that they were simply using OpenAI's products to look for evidence of copyright infringement. OpenAI seeks to dismiss allegations of direct copyright infringement that occurred more than three years before the lawsuit, as well as other claims including contribution to infringement and unfair competition. This legal battle reflects a broader trend of AI companies facing increasing legal action from established organizations.
