OpenAI claimed that The New York Times "paid someone to hack OpenAI's products, such as ChatGPT, to set up a lawsuit" against the leading AI manufacturer. In the lawsuit filed, OpenAI asserts that "100 instances in which a specific version of the GPT-4 OpenAI model allegedly generated multiple paragraphs of Times content in response to user queries" do not reflect how ordinary people use ChatGPT.
Instead, as claimed, it took the Times "tens of thousands of attempts to generate" these allegedly "highly anomalous results" by "targeting and exploiting the error," which OpenAI now "pledges to correct."
Contrary to the claims in the complaint, ChatGPT in no way replaces a subscription to The New York Times. In the real world, people do not use ChatGPT or any other OpenAI product for this purpose. And couldn't. Of course, no one can use ChatGPT to voluntarily access Times articles.
— OpenAI asserts in a motion aimed at dismissing most of The Times' claims.
OpenAI asserts that the court should dismiss claims of direct copyright infringement, contributory copyright infringement, violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and misappropriation, all of which it calls "legally unsound."
If OpenAI's motion is granted, most likely only trademark dilution claims will remain. But if The Times wins, which is quite possible, OpenAI may be forced to remove ChatGPT and start over, reports ArsTechnica.
