The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement

>>ssgodd+(OP)
What are they arguing here? AFAIK reading copyrighted works is not copyright infringement. Copying and selling them is, as the name would suggest, but OpenAI absolutely did not do that. Are they trying to say that LLM training is a special type of reading that should be considered infringement? Seems like a weak case to me.

edit: Would be very funny if OpenAI used an educational fair use defense

I hope you don’t think that’s all whats happening, right?

>LLM training is a special type of reading that should be considered infringement

OK, what turn of phrase would you prefer?
