There is Microsoft filed a motion for rejection main parts of the claim The New York Times filed a complaint against the company and Open AI, accusing them of copyright infringement. if you remember The Times sued both companies GPT for using his published articles to teach large language models (LLM) without permission or compensation. There is a company in its own application accused The Times pushing for “doomsday futurology,” arguing that artificial intelligence technologies pose a threat to independent journalism. This comes after OpenAI filed a court filing from late February that seeks to dismiss some important elements of the case.
Whom Before that, OpenAIMicrosoft charged The Times Creating “unreal prompts” to “push GPT-based tools”, extracting responses matching its contents. He also compared the media organization’s lawsuit to efforts by Hollywood studios to “stop a groundbreaking new technology”: the VCR. Instead of destroying Hollywood, Microsoft explained, the VCR helped the entertainment industry flourish by opening up a revenue stream. LLMs are a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, he continued, and Microsoft partnered with OpenAI because it “strongly believes in the potential of LLMs to improve the way people live and work.”
The company is asking the court to dismiss three claims, including one alleging liability for end-user copyright infringement by using GPT-based tools, and another alleging violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Microsoft also wants the court to dismiss that element of the case The Times accused him of appropriating time-sensitive breaking news and consumer buying recommendations. For example, The Times claimed in its lawsuit that if users asked ChatGPT to review articles about Wirecutter, which is owned by the news company, they would lose revenue because potential buyers would no longer click on its referral links. But that’s just speculation about what The Times Apparently, fears can happen,” and did not cite any real-world examples in its complaint, Microsoft said.
“Microsoft doesn’t mind working with OpenAI to copy millions of files of The Times working without his permission to build his tools,” Ian Crosby, lead consultant The Timestold the publication.” Instead, it compares LLMs to VCRs, even though VCR manufacturers never claim they had to commit mass copyright infringement to create their products.”
OpenAI and Microsoft face more lawsuits over content used to teach LLMs of the past. Non-fiction writers Fiction authors including Michael Chabon, George RR Martin, John Grisham and Jodi Picoult have accused companies of stealing their work for AI education. Recently, The Intercept, Raw Storey and AlterNet filed separate lawsuits against the company because ChatGPT reproduces their content “verbatim or almost verbatim” while removing appropriate attribution.
