After the NYT, three other newspapers sue OpenAI and Microsoft. While Google would offer AI to publishers to write stories (ANSA) The Intercept, Raw Story and AlterNet filed separate lawsuits in the District of New York.
The publications state that ChatGpt not infrequently reproduces "literally or almost verbatim copyrighted works of journalism without providing information on author, title, terms of use" OpenAI asked a court to dismiss that claim, asserting that the Times took advantage of a bug that caused article texts to be replicated word for word.
