OpenAI Accuses The New York Times of Tricking ChatGPT into Plagiarizing Articles

OpenAI responds to The New York Times' copyright lawsuit, claiming the case is without merit and expressing hope for a partnership. OpenAI argues that the Times manipulated prompts to include regurgitated excerpts of articles and refused to share examples of this reproduction before filing the lawsuit. The company maintains that AI models need access to human knowledge and believes training AI models with internet data falls under fair use rules. OpenAI announced website owners could start blocking its web crawlers from accessing their data in August 2023 and still hopes for a constructive partnership with The New York Times.
