OpenAI Accuses The New York Times of Hacking ChatGPT for Copyright Suit

The Intercept, Raw Story, and AlterNet have filed lawsuits against OpenAI, alleging that the company violated their copyright protections by training its ChatGPT AI to ignore and hide copyrighted material from journalists. The lawsuits, filed in federal court in Manhattan, follow The New York Times' similar lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The media outlets argue that OpenAI's actions violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and seek compensation for their journalistic work. While some news outlets have partnered with AI companies, others, like Raw Story and AlterNet, have opted for legal action to protect their copyrights.
