Episode notes
NYT Lawsuit
- The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, seeking billions in damages.
- They're demanding the deletion of ChatGPT and its training data, a demand deemed hyperbolic and unlikely to succeed.
Legal Challenges
- Generative AI lawsuits face challenges due to lack of legal precedent and difficulty establishing harm.
- Using copyrighted material for AI training is generally considered fair use, further complicating the lawsuit.

- This suggests that verbatim article reproduction may stem from search functionality rather than the model itself.
