In a recent blog post OpenAI vehemently refutes the allegations in the New York Times lawsuit filed less than two weeks ago.
The Times accuses OpenAI of utilizing millions of its articles to train its AI models, with ChatGPT allegedly displaying paywalled content in response to user prompts.

OpenAI responds to New York Times Lawsuit
The blog post states that the company disagrees with the claims filed in The New York Times lawsuit. They described the four points OpenAI wanted to “clarify our business, our intent, and how we build our technology.”
- “We collaborate with news organizations and are creating new opportunities”
- “Training is fair use, but we provide an opt-out because it’s the right thing to do”
- ““Regurgitation” is a rare bug that we are working to drive to zero”
- “The New York Times is not telling the full story”
Legal Battle Background
When rumors of potential legal action by The New York Times against OpenAI surfaced in August, the newspaper updated its terms of service. And it now expressly forbids companies from scraping their content for AI training without proper licensing.
Negotiations between the two entities regarding a content licensing deal reportedly turned contentious, leading to the current legal battle.
OpenAI, in its response, challenges the merit of the lawsuit and addresses the core copyright concerns raised by The New York Times.
The AI developer contends that the training of AI models using publicly available content falls under fair use. The blog post emphasizes that the Times' content didn't significantly contribute to the training of their existing models and would not be impactful for future training.
This legal dispute is part of a broader trend where generative AI developers face legal challenges related to the use of copyrighted content and open-source code in training models.
Both OpenAI and Microsoft encountered legal action over the GitHub Copilot programming assistant. Another lawsuit filed last January accused Stability AI Ltd., DeviantArt Inc., and Midjourney Inc. of using copyrighted images in developing their AI models.
OpenAI counters NYT
OpenAI also tackles the issue of ChatGPT displaying paywalled articles, asserting that this is a "rare bug" currently under active resolution.
