New York Times sues OpenAI for copyright infringement and unfair competition

The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company of copyright infringement and unfair competition. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI used the New York Times' articles to train its chatbot without compensation. Additionally, the New York Times claims that OpenAI's chatbot could potentially compete with the newspaper itself, as users might prefer interacting with the chatbot rather than accessing the New York Times directly. The outcome of this lawsuit could have significant implications for the relationship between AI models and media outlets as they navigate ownership and distribution of content.
