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

If you read the complaint, you will see that, among others, paragraphs and paragraphs of NYT articles are reproduced verbatim or almost verbatim.

Sounds like the infinite monkey typewriter thing, where the NYT sieves the OpenAI output for exact segments, probably after primining it to fatten the yield
