OpenAI claims the Times cheated to get ChatGPT to regurgitate articles

OpenAI has asked a US District Court to dismiss several claims made by The New York Times in its copyright infringement lawsuit. OpenAI argues that the Times exploited a bug in OpenAI's ChatGPT system and fed articles directly to the chatbot to generate verbatim passages. The Times' lead counsel argues that the outlet was simply using OpenAI's products to find evidence of stolen and reproduced copyrighted works. The Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft in December, claiming that their AI models were trained on its content and compromised its revenue and reader relationship.
