OpenAI says New York Times 'hacked' ChatGPT to build copyright lawsuit
Economic Times

Medial
OpenAI is seeking the dismissal of parts of the New York Times' copyright lawsuit, claiming that the newspaper hacked its chatbot, ChatGPT, to fabricate evidence against OpenAI. The company alleges that the Times used deceptive prompts to manipulate its technology and reproduce its material, violating OpenAI's terms of use. The Times had sued OpenAI and Microsoft in December for allegedly using its articles without permission to train chatbots. The outcome of this case will determine the legality of AI training using copyrighted material and its potential impact on the industry.
