> The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft over claims the companies built their AI models by “copying and using millions” of the publication’s articles and now “directly compete” with the outlet’s content.

Millions? Damn, they can churn out some content. 13 million[0]!.

  “Through Microsoft’s Bing Chat (recently rebranded as “Copilot”) and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Defendants seek to free-ride on The Times’s massive investment in its journalism by using it to build substitutive products without permission or payment,” the lawsuit states.

I can't be the only one that sees the irony of this news being "reported" and regurgitated over dozens of crappy blogs.

  ChatGPT [..] “can generate output that recites Times content verbatim, closely summarizes it, and mimics its expressive style.”

If the NYT thinks that GPT-4 is replicating their style then [as anybody who has tried to do creative writing work with GPT-4 can testify to] they need to fire all their writers.

All those blogs are _also_ violating copyright, so I don't see the irony? One doesn't spend a million dollars suing a defendant with pennies to their name.

I'd also expect the Times style complaint to have merit because it's probably much easier for ChatGPT to imitate the NYT style than an arbitrary style.
