The ChatGPT subscription is more valuable because it's built on the theft of the NYT content and many other authors' work.

No. It is a technology that can massively accelerate human progress—I don’t buy the theory that OpenAI used NYTimes content that was not freely available to them. If you read all of the public internet you probably have lots of snippets of NYTimes articles. Regarding the reading of the wirecutter by a browser tool, I don’t know how much of it is available online without subscription (because I subscribe to the NYTimes), but arguably if it is available I’d expect a helpful AI to read it and other sources and give me a short recommendation for what I look for (and not the ads or sponsored links).

It may have been freely available to them, but that doesn’t mean that they are free to reproduce its contents or otherwise make use of it at scale.

The chatGPT model is not reproducing the contents nor making it available at scale. I, the user, ask the model to read the website and other websites and come back with a useful summary to me. This is not training data thus not violating copyright any more than a browser showing the full text would.
