OpenAI claims The New York Times tricked ChatGPT into copying its articles (www.theverge.com)

OpenAI has publicly responded to a copyright lawsuit by The New York Times, calling the case “without merit” and saying it still hoped for a partnership with the media outlet.

In a blog post, OpenAI said the Times “is not telling the full story.” It took particular issue with claims that its ChatGPT AI tool reproduced Times stories verbatim, arguing that the Times had manipulated prompts to include regurgitated excerpts of articles. “Even when using such prompts, our models don’t typically behave the way The New York Times insinuates, which suggests they either instructed the model to regurgitate or cherry-picked their examples from many attempts,” OpenAI said.

OpenAI claims it’s attempted to reduce regurgitation from its large language models and that the Times refused to share examples of this reproduction before filing the lawsuit. It said the verbatim examples “appear to be from year-old articles that have proliferated on multiple third-party websites.” The company did admit that it took down a ChatGPT feature, called Browse, that unintentionally reproduced content.

Hey, I get what you are trying to say, but I suggest you try reading the original article. Here it is for reference.

https://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/02/world/asia/osama-bin-laden-is-killed.html

The second para starts in the original article by saying - In a late-night appearance in the East Room of the White House, Mr. Obama declared that “justice has been done”

In the ChatGPT version it says - In a late-night address to the nation from the East Room, President Obama declared “Justice has been done”.

I’ll let you draw your own conclusions
